About Saswata Pal

I’m a Senior Software Engineer with 12+ years of experience, specializing in frontend development (React, Next.js, JavaScript/TypeScript) and recently expanding into DevOps and cloud engineering to drive end-to-end delivery.I focus on building responsive, scalable, and high-performance user interfaces — blending usability with clean architecture. My early experience with PHP and backend systems gives me a strong foundation for cross-functional collaboration and full-stack thinking.Over the last year, I’ve actively worked on cloud-native solutions using AWS (Lambda, ALB, Route 53, CloudFront) and infrastructure as code (AWS SAM), while automating CI/CD pipelines and dynamic QA environments. I’ve also integrated Cypress-based test automation and observability tooling (New Relic) to ensure quality and performance in every release.I’m hands-on with tools that improve developer experience, accelerate delivery, and make software more resilient — and I’m continuing to grow in Terraform, Docker, Kubernetes, and AIOps.I’ve also led teams, mentored developers, and promoted clean code and continuous improvement. Tech Highlights:Frontend: React, Next.js, JavaScript/TypeScriptBackend (past experience): PHP (CodeIgniter, Core PHP), REST APIsDevOps & Cloud: AWS (Lambda, Route 53, CloudFront, ALB), AWS SAM, CI/CD (GitHub Actions, GitLab CI), dynamic QA environmentsAutomation & Monitoring: Cypress, New Relic, CloudWatchIn Progress: Terraform, Docker, Kubernetes, AIOpsPractices: Agile, DevEx, performance optimization, mentorship, cross-team collaborationI enjoy solving real-world problems, building scalable systems, and leading by example — balancing execution with curiosity and growth.Currently building AI-powered automation systems outside work — exploring multi-agent pipelines, automated quality control, and content delivery systems.
