# Shaswat Shah > Software Engineer @ Curie | Backend & Platform(Cloud) Engineering | Distributed Systems | Python • Go • Typescript • gRPC • Kubernetes • AWS | Open to Work | 0B9E F523 BDC6 F12E 3DC1 49F7 8D41 1137 2E48 E8E8 Location: Greater Chicago Area, United States Profile: https://flows.cv/shaswatshah I’m a Software Engineer actively seeking full-time backend, cloud, or platform engineering roles. I specialize in building scalable distributed systems, low-latency APIs, and cloud-native infrastructure across AWS, Azure, and GCP. Across my experience at Curie, Briefed.IO, and Dosepack, I've consistently delivered high-impact engineering outcomes: 40% cloud cost reduction by engineering a custom Nginx+Go API Gateway 70% reduction in inter-service latency after migrating GraphQL → gRPC 85% faster internal workflow iteration through a Golang microservice powering a no-code engine 93% faster production issue triage with centralized logging & observability (Fluent Bit + EKS) 95% deployment time reduction via containerization and cloud-native CI/CD 95%+ RAG accuracy for medical extraction pipelines on Azure AI Search I'm looking for opportunities where I can: ✔ Build high-throughput backend systems ✔ Design scalable microservice architectures ✔ Improve cloud efficiency and observability ✔ Work with Golang / Python / gRPC / Kubernetes / Terraform ✔ Contribute to impactful engineering teams and solve real-world problems If your team is hiring backend, distributed systems, or cloud engineers — I’d love to connect. ## Work Experience ### Founding Engineer @ Curie Jan 2025 – Present | United States • Reduced cloud infrastructure costs by 40% by building a custom Nginx-Go API Gateway with JWT authentication to replace AWS API Gateway. • Accelerated clinical workflow iteration by 85% by architecting a Golang service on GraphQL Federation with React Flow, enabling clinical staff deploy workflows directly. • Reduced inter-service latency by 70% by partnering with the CTO to re-architect backend orchestration, migrating internal communication from GraphQL to gRPC. • Implemented idempotent request handling and transactional safeguards across Go microservices to prevent duplicate processing and ensure data consistency under concurrent retries. • Decreased production error triage time by 93% by consolidating logs from 10+ microservices into a centralized Fluent Bit observability pipeline on EKS. • Reduced outage detection time from 3 hours to 5 minutes by implementing SQS Dead Letter Queue monitoring via erraform across the microservices fleet. ### Software Developer @ Briefed.io Jan 2024 – Jan 2024 | United States • Reduced claim-prep time by 85% and infrastructure costs by 70% by architecting an asynchronous ingestion pipeline (Azure Document Intelligence) that processes 500+ page medical files without timeouts. • Achieved 95%+ extraction accuracy for medical summaries by implementing a RAG system on Azure AI Search, utilizing hybrid search (Vector + Keyword) to mitigate AI hallucinations. • Delivered the secure platform MVP by collaborating with product stakeholders to translate business requirements into a HIPAA-compliant React/PostgreSQL solution with strict access controls. ### Software Developer @ DosePacker India Jan 2022 – Jan 2023 | Ahmedabad, Gujarat, India • Reduced deployment time by 95% (90 min to 5 min) by containerizing the codebase and implementing a Cloud-Native Jenkins CI/CD pipeline on GCP, eliminating manual provisioning errors for a 12-robot fleet. • Decreased data sync latency by 80% (¡2s) by engineering a real-time Event-Driven Architecture via AWS IoT Core (MQTT) to handle asynchronous telemetry streams efficiently. • Increased processing throughput by 20% by developing a Python Finite State Machine (FSM) middleware, ensuring system stability through comprehensive unit and integration testing. • Demonstrated Technical Leadership by accelerating junior developer onboarding by 66% through mentorship on Git workflows and Docker best practices to standardize dev environments. ## Education ### Master of Science in Computer Engineering Illinois Institute of Technology ### Bachelor of Engineering Government Engineering College,Gandhinagar ### A.
