Profile: https://flows.cv/vedantchidgopkar

Software engineer with 4+ years of experience building scalable systems, cloud applications, and AI-enabled products.
 
At PayPal, I work on large-scale payment systems supporting AutoPay and payment servicing for customers and merchants across 16 products in 8+ countries. My work includes building reconciliation frameworks, implementing idempotent COB processing, developing event-driven payment workflows, designing Oracle partitioned audit and data-processing layers, and supporting production reliability. Previously at Oxmaint, I built APIs, improved platform performance, and shipped AI features including a RAG-based chatbot and an edge LLM deployment. I also bring experience across TypeScript, GraphQL, AWS, Azure, Kafka, and full-stack system integrations.
 
I’m especially interested in Software Engineer roles focused on building high-impact systems across distributed platforms, cloud infrastructure, and intelligent applications.
