# Gaurangi Wanjari > Senior Software Engineer | Building Enterprise Platforms at Scale | Python/Django + Angular | Ex - VMware Location: San Francisco Bay Area, United States Profile: https://flows.cv/gaurangi I design and deliver enterprise scale platform systems that combine backend infrastructure with modern frontend experiences, solving the hard problems that keep engineering teams productive and secure. Over 12 years, I've specialized in the intersection of full-stack development, platform reliability, and production systems. At VMware/Broadcom, I've led initiatives that impact 800+ engineers daily including zero-downtime authentication migrations, API-first backend architectures that improved performance by about 30%, and automation workflows that saved 15 to 20 hours per week across teams. What I Do: I build end-to-end platform solutions—from database schema design and RESTful APIs through Angular frontends and CI/CD pipelines. My work typically involves: • Backend & APIs: Designing RESTful microservices with Django/Python, implementing OAuth2 authentication with Okta, and building API-first workflows for platform tools. • Frontend & UX: Modernizing Angular applications, building data visualization dashboards with Vega-lite/Chart.js, implementing dark mode theming, and creating self-service workflows that drive 80%+ adoption. • Platform Reliability: Leading zero-downtime migrations for 800+ users, establishing E2E test automation (100+ Playwright test cases), and proven track record in reducing technical debt by 60%. My Approach: I take ownership of ambiguous, complex problems and drive them from initial discovery through production delivery. I’m most effective in environments where requirements are evolving, constraints are real, and the solutions have a meaningful impact on hundreds of engineers. I combine technical depth with pragmatic execution. I've learned that the best solutions aren't the most elegant, they're the ones that ship safely to production and actually get used. What I'm Looking For: I'm currently exploring Senior Software Engineer roles where I can contribute my skills in Python, Angular, platform tools development, and security to collaborative, high-impact teams.
