# Apurv Mishra > Product Engineer at Metaview Location: City Of London, England, United Kingdom Profile: https://flows.cv/apurvmishra As a product engineer and backend‑leaning full‑stack developer, I specialise in building robust, scalable platforms that connect product vision with technical execution. Currently at Metaview, I develop AI‑driven hiring solutions that help companies make smarter, faster and fairer decisions. Previously, I worked in the Risk Technology team at Capstone Investment Advisors and the bank transfers team at Stripe, where I ensured secure, reliable money movement at scale. These roles sharpened my ability to build resilient backend services and collaborate across product, design and engineering. I primarily work in Python and TypeScript and have delivered production systems in Java, C++ and Ruby. My background in computer science from the University of Edinburgh gives me a strong foundation in algorithms and system design, while my product experience informs user‑centric development. Beyond work, I explore new tech trends, contribute to open‑source projects and compete in hackathons to expand my skill set. I’m passionate about accessible, performant software and about mentoring early‑career engineers.
