About Shyam Chawla

I’m a Senior Fullstack Engineer with 6+ years of experience building high-throughput, mission-critical systems for startups and scale-ups, with a strong focus on backend architecture, microservices, and cloud-native platforms.I’m most energized by complex systems that have to work - platforms handling payments, logistics, healthcare data, and real-time analytics under real operational pressure. From redesigning backend platforms that unlocked $2M+ in savings to migrating monoliths into resilient microservices that cut downtime by 80%, I enjoy turning fragile systems into dependable ones.Built HIPAA-compliant systems, real-time analytics, and asset platforms that scaled products from early traction to tens of thousands of users.Career HighlightsPlatform & Microservices Architecture: Redesigned backend platforms and migrated monoliths into event-driven microservices, reducing service downtime by 80% and improving system resilience across payments and logistics workflows.Scalability & Business Impact: Delivered $2M+ in operational savings and improved asset throughput by 50% by modernizing APIs, workflows, and infrastructure across high-growth startups.Healthcare & Compliance Systems: Designed and built HIPAA-compliant patient intake and analytics platforms, enabling secure handling of PHI while scaling products from 50 to 10K+ subscribers.Observability & Reliability Engineering: Implemented metrics, logging, and alerting using Prometheus, Grafana, Elasticsearch, and New Relic, cutting incident resolution time by 40% and improving production confidence.Technical Leadership & Mentorship: Led architecture decisions for small, high-impact teams, maintained 95% sprint delivery, resolved production-critical issues, and mentored engineers to ship reliable systems under pressure.AI-Driven Operations Automation: Built an AI-powered chatbot to service request pipeline that converts natural-language battery service requests into structured tickets and automated dispatch workflows, eliminating manual triage and speeding up issue resolution across thousands of stations.I’m often trusted to own critical workflows end-to-end: designing APIs, making architectural decisions, resolving production incidents, and mentoring engineers so teams can move faster without breaking things. I value clarity, strong defaults, and building systems that other engineers actually enjoy working with.If you’re looking for someone who combines hands-on execution with architectural thinking - and who treats reliability as a first-class feature - I’d love to connect.
