About Shubham Sananse

Senior Software Engineer specializing in Go, React, TypeScript, Distributed Systems, Platform Engineering and High-Scale Web Infrastructure. Building backend services and developer platforms used by 30M+ users at Blinkit.At Blinkit I work across both backend systems and frontend platforms, designing infrastructure and internal tooling that power applications used by tens of millions of users. My work spans multiple layers of the stack- Distributed backend systems in Go - Frontend platforms built with React / Next.js - Server-driven UI architectures - Internal developer platforms and tooling Some examples of systems I’ve built:• Designed and implemented a Golang service handling ~7k requests/sec that acts as the gateway for Blinkit store operations systems. • Built a multi-tenant facial recognition service supporting 50k+ employees across warehouses and stores of blinkit and hyperpure. • Architected an interactive training engine onboarding 100k+ employees every month before they start working with live customer orders. • Led development of a server-driven UI platform and layout engine that powers experiences used by 9M+ daily users across Blinkit applications. • Contributed to the web platform serving 30M monthly users, improving performance and reducing bundle size by 37%. Beyond building systems, I enjoy platform architecture and developer tooling - creating frameworks, libraries, and abstractions that help teams ship faster. introduced hot reloading for our development workflow in backend, moved away from ORM\'s to raw SQL but type safe usage using SQLC, integrated BUF for working with protoc. Technologies I work with most often: Go • React • TypeScript • Next.js • PostgreSQL • DynamoDB • AWS • Kubernetes • Docker • GRPC
