Shivam Shahi

Software Engineer

Product-minded Software Engineer focused on building scalable, high-performance applications and robust system architectures.

About Me

I engineer high-performance software systems with a strong emphasis on scalable architectures and robust backend infrastructure. My expertise spans hybrid-cloud deployments, real-time event-driven systems, and building intuitive, seamless user interfaces.

Operating effectively in high-velocity, early-stage environments, I take ownership of the full engineering lifecycle—from architecting complex data pipelines and orchestrating microservices to shipping polished, production-ready applications.

When I am not deep in code, you can find me playing soccer, exploring new music, or sharing technical insights within the developer community.

Experience

A brief about my work experiences and professional journey.

  • As the first engineering hire, I drove the technical vision and foundational architecture from inception to production.
  • Architected a hybrid-cloud platform using a custom Go-based edge agent, seamlessly integrating cloud infrastructure with legacy on-premise ERPs like Tally.
  • Engineered and automated end-to-end workflows for contract execution and document state synchronization via Slack and DocuSign APIs.
  • Designed and implemented robust real-time SSE infrastructure, ensuring instant state synchronization for invoices, payments, and reconciliations.
  • Developed scalable multi-stage ingestion pipelines for invoice processing, automated approvals, and complex journal entry reconciliations.

Technical Arsenal

I view languages and frameworks simply as tools to solve complex business problems. While I adapt quickly to any ecosystem, I have deep production expertise in a few core areas:

  • Frontend & Product: React, Next.js, TypeScript, and modern state management. I build interfaces that feel instantaneous and native.
  • Backend & Systems: Node.js, Python, and Go. I design scalable microservices, real-time event-driven architectures, and secure API gateways.
  • Data & Infra: PostgreSQL, Redis, Docker, and hybrid-cloud deployments. I focus on high availability, efficient querying, and resilient deployments.
