priya.r@hey.com +1 (415) 555-0142 Oakland, CA linkedin.com/in/priyaraghunathan github.com/priyar priyar.dev

Backend engineer with eight years on high-throughput payment infrastructure. Took a ledger service from 400 to 9,000 writes per second without a consistency regression, and led the migration that moved 42 million accounts off a single Postgres primary. Comfortable owning a system end to end: schema design, rollout, the pager.

Mar 2022 – Present

Senior Backend Engineer

–Rebuilt the double-entry ledger on an append-only event store, lifting sustained throughput from 400 to 9,200 writes per second while keeping balance reconciliation exact.

–Led the shard migration of 42M accounts off a single Postgres primary across six weeks with zero customer-visible downtime and no rollback.

–Cut p99 settlement latency 71% (2.4s to 690ms) by replacing synchronous fan-out with a batched outbox consumer.

–Mentored four engineers; two were promoted to senior within eighteen months.

Jun 2019 – Feb 2022

Backend Engineer

–Designed the tenancy model behind the enterprise tier, which closed $3.1M in ARR that had been blocked on data isolation.

–Reduced infrastructure spend 34% ($780K annualised) by moving cold tiles to object storage behind a signed-URL cache.

–Wrote the incident review process still used company-wide; mean time to resolution fell from 4.1 hours to 52 minutes.

Aug 2017 – May 2019

Software Engineer

–Built the telemetry pipeline ingesting 1.2TB per day from 3,400 field units, replacing a batch job that ran twelve hours behind.

–Shipped the fleet-diagnostics API consumed by every downstream team and by two customer integrations.
