About Yash Gupta

I’m a backend-focused software engineer with experience across payments,settlements, security, and,infrastructure. At my current organization, I’ve worked on IC2B implementation for the P2P system, enhancements in REDE and file-based settlements, and led updates for a service including key security and infra upgrades. I\'ve also contributed to UI features and monitoring tools that support smoother deployments and better visibility in production. Previously, I designed and optimized post-trade APIs handling over a million records, implemented batch jobs for financing computations, and introduced data purging strategies to improve performance. I worked on decoupling applications from monoliths, upgraded core components like logging and object storage, and contributed several enhancements to CI/CD pipelines, including tag-based deployments and release validations. I enjoy taking ownership, working across teams, and improving systems for better performance, reliability, and maintainability.

   As a dedicated and fast-learning software engineer, I\'ve consistently taken ownership of complex projects across domains such as Payments, Card Processing, and Security. Joining my current organization during the early stages of a critical P2P project, I quickly ramped up in an unfamiliar domain, actively leading the IC2B implementation. From designing robust HLD and LLD documents to driving PRs across multiple components, I played a central role in ensuring a successful, on-time launch.Beyond implementation, I contributed to system monitoring, setting up live traffic dashboards for better observability and reliability in production.Contributed to LLD and development for VAT handling in a file-based settlement system.Initiated and led early planning phases, collaborating with external teams to onboard a new payment processor.Conducted in-depth analysis of bank settlement flows to ensure accurate VAT application.Organized and participated in cross-functional design review sessions to align implementation across teams. In the Settlements domain, I tackled file processing challenges with REDE, optimizing the process to resolve long-standing issues with unaccounted fines. This improvement brought in measurable financial benefits and improved compliance. On the BR-BCDC product, I quickly got up to speed with a new stack (Node.js & React), leading customer-facing enhancements like pre-installment flow and UI improvements. My contributions helped streamline the user experience and accelerated feature delivery. Also been involved in security enhancements for the Partner Checkout Service, contributing to safer, more resilient systems.
