About Bhuvan Raj
Innovative Backend Software Engineer with 2+ years of professional experience building scalable APIs, data pipelines, and distributed services using Python, Node.js, AWS, and microservices architectures. I focus on making backend systems reliable, observable, and easy to evolve not just “working.”At Fidelity Investments (FCAT), I built backend pipelines in that transformed multi-quarter datasets into clean JSON schemas powering real-time analytics dashboards for financial research teams. I integrated and debugged complex internal REST APIs, reducing frontend–backend integration issues by 25%+, and contributed to CI workflows that improved release safety and velocity.Previously at Idexcel, I worked on distributed microservices, integrating AWS OpenSearch, Lambda, and Redshift to improve search accuracy by 90%+ and reduce service response times by up to 80% through better query design, payload optimization, and caching strategies.What sets me apart is how I think about systems:I care deeply about API contracts, schema evolution, failure modes, and performance under real-world constraints. I enjoy working close to product and frontend teams to ensure backend decisions actually translate into better user outcomes.On a more personal note, while pursuing my MS in Software Engineering Systems at Northeastern, I also serve as a Graduate Teaching Assistant for a Generative AI course, helping students understand how modern AI systems (like RAG pipelines) are built end to end. Teaching has sharpened how I reason, explain, and design systems skills I bring back into my engineering work every day.I’m currently seeking backend engineering roles where I can build strong system foundations and grow toward AI-driven backend and platform engineering over time.
