About Krishan Siwach

Ever wondered what happens when you mix a keyboard, a cup of coffee, and an unquenchable thirst for solving puzzles? You get me—a dedicated code enthusiast ready to dive deep and enhance software (always in a separate Git branch, naturally). You get me—a Lead Engineer at Orderlink NZ Ltd, with 4+ years of experience building and scaling production-grade software systems. My journey began as a software development engineer and evolved into leading architecture decisions, integrations, and delivery for mission-critical supply chain platforms.“Care about your craft. Think about your work.” — The Pragmatic ProgrammerFuelled by caffeine and curiosity, I thrive on tackling complex challenges and transforming them into streamlined solutions. With a passion for programming and a knack for creative problem-solving, I approach every project with ambition and professionalism. Whether integrating multiple third-party systems or optimising code for performance, I relish the opportunity to innovate and push the boundaries of what’s possible. One of my most rewarding experiences has been designing and leading complex third-party integrations—including Odoo, Xero, and others—without prior exposure to supply chains or their ecosystems. I thrive in unfamiliar problem spaces, quickly learning domain knowledge and translating it into robust, maintainable software.My core strengths include- Backend Engineering: Python, Django, Django Rest Framework - Frontend & Integration: JavaScript, React, REST APIs - Systems & Architecture: Async processing, background jobs, caching, performance optimization - Data & Infra: PostgreSQL, DevOps workflows, VM-based deployments - Leadership: Technical ownership, mentoring, cross-team collaborationI approach engineering with a balance of technical rigour and pragmatism, focusing on solutions that are not just elegant but reliable, scalable, and business-ready.Outside of work, I value quality time with family and enjoy listening to music, following football, reading, and staying active through sports.Always learning. Always building.Let’s keep pushing the boundaries of what’s possible in tech.
