I’m a Lead Engineer at Razorpay with 6+ years of experience designing and building scalable, reliable backend systems. Currently, I lead the UPI Experience team, working on critical components of the payments ecosystem. Previously, at InfoEdge (Naukri.com), I led and contributed to several impactful initiatives — from developing GenAI-powered assessment platforms to scaling integrations that served over 50,000+ candidates. My core expertise includes Python, Django, AWS, Docker, and distributed systems. I have extensive experience building and scaling RESTful APIs, and working with technologies like Redis, Elasticsearch, RabbitMQ, and AWS services such as EC2, S3, SES, SNS, and SQS. Recent Achievement: Secured 1st place in InfoEdge’s AI-themed Hackathon 2024 for building Assessify — an adaptive assessment platform that dynamically adjusts question difficulty based on real-time candidate performance. I’m always open to meaningful conversations around technology, AI, and system design. Feel free to reach out at shikhasehrawat0299@gmail.com.
