# Hemanth Saragadam > Senior Software Engineer | Blockchain Specialist | Web3 · Tokenization · Blockchain · Crypto · Digital Assets · Java · Spring Boot · AWS · Kubernetes · Microservices | Distributed Systems | AWS Certified Location: San Francisco, California, United States Profile: https://flows.cv/hemanthsaragadam I build backend and platform systems that scale — from API design and distributed services through production observability and on-call ownership. Over 5+ years, I’ve shipped microservices, event-driven pipelines, and cloud infrastructure across high-growth teams, consistently improving latency, reliability, and developer velocity. My day-to-day lives in Java, Spring Boot, Node.js, Kafka, PostgreSQL, Redis, and AWS. I design systems with clear bounded contexts, idempotent processing, and transactional guarantees. I’ve reduced p95 latency by 42%, cut production incidents by 45%, and automated deployments to ship 70% faster — all while maintaining observability with OpenTelemetry, SLIs, SLOs, and burn-rate alerting. I’m equally comfortable defining API contracts and data ownership across teams as I am profiling slow queries, tuning indexes, or debugging a distributed trace at 2 AM. I care about shipping the right thing reliably — clean architecture, quality gates, contract testing, and infrastructure as code are how I make that repeatable. Certifications: AWS Certified Solutions Architect – Associate HashiCorp Certified Terraform Associate Let’s connect — I’m always up for conversations about distributed systems, platform engineering, and building things that hold up under pressure. ## Work Experience ### Senior Software Engineer @ LABS196 Jan 2024 – Present | Sugar Land, TX – Led development of RealProton, a regulated digital asset platform for tokenized real estate, translating product requirements into secure backend services and production workflows;
