About Rahul Sharma
I build and scale engineering teams that deliver products millions of people use daily. Currently leading 20+ engineers at Zupee, where our gaming platforms serve 2.5M+ daily active users and handle 50M+ API requests per day. My focus is on creating systems that are fast, reliable, and cost-efficient—while building teams that actually want to stick around.My path from IC to engineering leader taught me that great systems come from great teams. I\'ve shipped real-time multiplayer games, tournament platforms supporting 200K+ participants, and infrastructure that handles scale without burning money. I care deeply about operational excellence—SLOs, distributed tracing, incident response—and I\'ve cut MTTR by 60% while reducing infrastructure costs by 10%.What drives me: solving hard technical problems, growing engineers into leaders, and building products that people love to use. Always up for conversations about distributed systems, real-time architecture, or building high-performing teams.
