# Sachi Gawai > Software Engineer | B2B SaaS & HealthTech | Python/Node, SQL Server, ETL, AWS | Boosted cloud pipeline throughput 60% and delivered secure Node.js + SQL APIs with documented data flows for consistent access Location: United States, United States Profile: https://flows.cv/sachigawai gawaisachi01@gmail.com | United States I’m a Software Engineer with 5+ years of experience building production-grade systems in B2B SaaS environments. I specialize in backend and data-intensive systems that are designed not just to ship, but to operate reliably under real-world load. My work spans FastAPI and Node.js APIs, SQL Server and PostgreSQL databases, and Python-based data pipelines running on AWS and Azure. I focus heavily on performance engineering, query optimization, system observability, and deployment reliability. Whether it’s tuning T-SQL execution plans, reducing API latency, or strengthening pipeline fault tolerance with retries and monitoring, I prioritize measurable impact over surface-level improvements. Across roles, I have: • Reduced database and API latency by up to 45% through indexing strategies and execution plan optimization • Increased pipeline throughput by 60% through structured batch processing and cloud-based orchestration • Maintained 99.9% production uptime using Dockerized services, CI/CD automation, and cloud monitoring • Built scalable ingestion and analytics systems supporting millions of records in high-volume workflows I care deeply about backend correctness, clean system design, and building infrastructure that teams can depend on. I am seeking a Fullstack Software Engineer role where I can take ownership of performance and reliability across the entire stack, including APIs, databases, data pipelines, and production monitoring. If that aligns with your team’s priorities, I would welcome the opportunity to connect.
