Chetan Bhagat
Backend Engineer
Summary
Five years building backend systems that carry real traffic. Most of my work is API design and the architecture underneath it: NestJS services talking over Kafka and Redis queues, Prisma schemas that hold up as products grow, and payment and messaging integrations that cannot afford to fail quietly. I have led a backend team through code review, mentoring and release discipline, I started out enriching product data at eClerx, which is where the habit of checking things properly comes from. I care most about the unglamorous part — systems that stay fast and predictable in production.
