# Palaash Kolhe > Software Engineer @ Replit Location: San Francisco, California, United States Profile: https://flows.cv/palaash Diligent student at the University of Waterloo pursuing a Software Engineering degree. Experienced in full-stack application development using various technology stacks and object-oriented concepts. Looking to learn new skills and keeping up with the latest in the field. ## Work Experience ### Software Engineer @ Replit Jan 2025 – Present | San Francisco Bay Area ### Software Engineer Intern @ Replit Jan 2024 – Jan 2024 | San Francisco Bay Area ### Software Engineer Intern @ Adentro Jan 2024 – Jan 2024 • Used Go and Python to build backend logic, parsing 1B+ data points for analytics and warehousing. • Facilitated MongoDB driver migration using Go and NoSQL, upgrading 80+ files to use the latest driver. ### Software Engineer Intern @ Terrace (YC S22) Jan 2023 – Jan 2023 | New York, United States • Crafted Go-based asset price retriever by capturing price snapshots from an API into a SQL table while also implementing a Redis caching mechanism, achieving a 30% reduction in processing time. • Developed token listing process using TypeScript and GraphQL, leveraging CoinGecko's API for token information retrieval, resulting in a speedup in asset addition times to the platform. • Built A-star search algorithm in Go to discover optimal trading paths across markets, boosting response times by 23%. ### Software Engineer Intern @ Zynga Jan 2022 – Jan 2022 | Toronto, Ontario, Canada • Updated internal datastores by periodically extracting information from SQL database and transferring to an AWS S3 bucket. Scheduled tasks would then fetch from S3 and update local datasets, improving release efficiency by 10%. • Crafted a Spring Boot job to automatically requeue dead letter queue items, saving 120+ developer hours in support calls and maintenance jobs. • Implemented observability measures in Java to track duration and status of database/endpoint queries to publish monitoring information to Datadog and Splunk, reducing QA debugging time by 4%. • Automated release branch deployments by creating Jenkins pipelines, thereby saving 100+ developer hours per year. • Created client components using Angular.js to display transaction information on the admin tools portal. ### AV Software Engineer Intern @ Ford Motor Company Jan 2022 – Jan 2022 | Dearborn, Michigan, United States • Developed asynchronous RESTful microservices using Java Spring Boot to publish critical alarm events to 5 teams, utilizing the GCP Pub/Sub message broker . • Optimized outdated infrastructure by using the Micronaut framework with GraalVM within the Connectivity Dashboard’s data visualization system, reducing server response times by 77%. • Engineered a Pub/Sub topic subscriber service using Spring and Terraform to consume and store published messages in SQL-based Datastore DB with 0% message loss rate. • Created Docker images for microservices and performed Docker container based deployments to AWS ECS and GCP Cloud Run. • Implemented unit and integration test cases using JUnit and Mockito to follow test-driven development process. ### Software Developer @ Utradea Jan 2021 – Jan 2021 | Toronto, Ontario, Canada • Led and built a full-stack portfolio balancing tool using the MERN stack and linear algebra computation libraries to allow the user to realign the weightings of their assets, increasing user traffic by 13%. • Developed front-end fair value projection page using React.js and styled with SCSS to display automated discounted cash flow with responsive charts for every stock. • Developed various RESTful API endpoints using Axios (promise-based HTTP client), to fetch data and update the Mongo database. • Designed and created server-side web application logic using Node.js that integrated the app with other third-party web services such as Facebook’s Graph API. ### Shad Fellow @ Shad Canada Jan 2019 – Jan 2019 | Waterloo, Ontario, Canada Attended the Shad program at the host campus of the University of Waterloo. Here, we delved deep into the design-oriented thinking process to solve the 2019 Shad design challenge. This opportunity gave me the chance to work within a team of six amazing Shads to create an effective design-oriented product. This project was a culmination of a thorough month of learning through workshops ranging from live coding with artificial intelligence to learning the basics of quantum physics. We also learned about the importance of ethics in the engineering world as well as the human connection required in products to succeed. At the end of this month-long journey, we presented our projects to officials such as MP's within Kitchener, administrators from corporations such as Google, and many other interested individuals. ## Education ### Bachelor of Software Engineering in Software Engineering University of Waterloo ### High School Diploma in High School/Secondary Diplomas and Certificates Lillian Osborne High School ## Contact & Social - LinkedIn: https://linkedin.com/in/palaash - Portfolio: https://palaashkolhe.github.io --- Source: https://flows.cv/palaash JSON Resume: https://flows.cv/palaash/resume.json Last updated: 2026-04-11
