ABOUT KAVITA CHAUDHRY
Staff-level software engineer with a track record of owning frontend architecture, backend services, and platform systems at scale. I’m equally comfortable designing user-facing experiences, building distributed APIs, and operating production infrastructure.At Nike Virtual Studios, I’ve led multiple frontend and platform initiatives across Next.js, GraphQL, Redis, and AWS—owning CI/CD pipelines, caching architectures, observability, and large-scale web performance improvements. My work has reduced p95 latency by ~40%, cut redundant server fetches by ~60%, and significantly improved developer velocity across teams.I work across the stack, from frontend architecture to backend services and cloud infrastructure. This includes designing high-traffic Next.js applications, building GraphQL platforms with centralized caching and request orchestration, implementing Redis-backed revalidation and performance optimizations, and operating CI/CD systems and Terraform-managed cloud deployments.Outside of work, I build creative, performance-focused web experiences and experiment with WebGL, Three.js, Framer, and interactive design through personal projects.
