About Divyanshu Sharma

Curiosity drives my passion for engineering. I thrive on solving complex problems and excel in environments that promote innovation and growth.During my three years at Citrix, I gained expertise in building, scaling, and maintaining cloud software products. Collaborating with cloud architects, I contributed to developing scalable backends using advanced configuration and orchestration technologies. My experience covers the entire software lifecycle—from ideation and coding to rapid deployment and cloud outage resolution.At Mercari, I worked with an exceptional team to develop features for mission-critical backend services across e-commerce domains like shipping, chat, and community engagement. I optimized Go microservices with Kubernetes, improving API response times through SQL query optimizations and reducing delayed order cancellations. I collaborated with QA, Product, Web, and Mobile teams to ensure seamless integration and product delivery.Additionally, I enhanced my skills in distributed systems by developing Go microservices and integrating workflow orchestration tools like Temporal. Working with the Machine Learning team, I implemented a document similarity ranking model using FastText, Word2Vec, and GloVe to improve user personalization and engagement.My journey also includes Android and.NET development internships, providing a broad perspective on software engineering across different platforms. This diverse background has strengthened my belief in the power of synergistic teams to create exceptional software. I’m eager to contribute to such dynamic teams in professional and academic settings.Highlights:Holistic Software Engineer specializing in backend developmentCertified Kubernetes AdministratorProven ability to write, build, and scale products across platformsTechnical Skills:Programming Languages: Java, Go, PythonFrameworks and Databases: Spring Boot.NET Core, React, Android, MySQL, Firebase, Redis, Cloud SpannerDevOps and Tools: Kubernetes, Docker, Spinnaker, Jenkins, Git, Terraform, Ansible, NewRelic, Temporal, CircleCICloud Platforms: Microsoft Azure, Google Cloud PlatformI’m passionate about creating software that meets user needs while scaling efficiently in the cloud.
