Open To New Opportunities and open to relocation!! (karan.savaliya01@gmail.com)

I like Building backend systems that don’t break when things get messy.

I work on distributed systems, async workflows, and AI-powered automation focused on solving real operational problems, not just shipping features.

Tech stack:
Python, TypeScript, FastAPI, NestJS, PostgreSQL, Docker, Cloud

Systems I’ve worked on have handled 1,000+ concurrent jobs and large-scale datasets in production environments.

Most of my work sits at the intersection of:
• Scale (high-concurrency systems, large datasets)
• Reliability (failures, retries, messy inputs)
• Efficiency (reducing manual effort and improving system performance)
• Practical AI (LLMs that reduce manual work)

What I’ve built:
• Multi-tenant systems with strict data isolation and role-based access control
• Async workflows with retries, fault tolerance, and background processing
• Backend systems handling high-volume data operations under real-world constraints
• AI-powered pipelines to automate decision-making and reduce manual effort

How I approach problems:
• Start from the user problem
• Simplify aggressively 
• Understand systems deeply 
• Continuously improve 

I enjoy working on problems where trade-offs matter performance vs simplicity, speed vs reliability and where systems need to work in production, not just demos.

Worked closely with founders to take products from 0 → 1, while also driving execution and contributing to daily engineering workflows.

Currently looking for:
Backend / Systems roles where I can build scalable systems and work on meaningful problems.
Particularly interested in systems where reliability, scale, and real-world constraints intersect.

## Work Experience
### Software Engineer @ Stealth Mode Start-up
Jan 2025 – Present
• Built FastAPI services to automate schema mapping across datasets (500+ columns), reducing manual data mapping effort and accelerating pipeline setup.
• Designed async workflows for large-scale data processing with retries and fault tolerance, improving system reliability and reducing processing time.
• Scaled Dockerized backend services on Azure to handle 1,000+ concurrent jobs, significantly improving throughput and reducing job failures under load.
• Worked directly with the founder to translate product requirements into production-ready systems and drive feature execution.
• Led and contributed to daily scrum processes, coordinating development and ensuring timely delivery across tasks.

### Graduate Teaching Assistant @ Illinois Institute of Technology
Jan 2024 – Jan 2024 | Chicago, IL
• Mentored 100+ students on backend development, system design, and real-world engineering practices .
• Guided students in designing scalable systems, identifying bottlenecks, and improving reliability in their projects .
• Reviewed code, debugged complex issues, and helped improve overall code quality and system thinking. 
• Assisted in simplifying complex technical concepts into practical, easy-to-understand solutions .
