Software Development Engineer Bajaj Finserv Health · Ayodhya, India

Sumit Verma, software engineer from Ayodhya — I build systems
that scale.

Backend and distributed systems engineer. I take services the whole way — from the data model and the API contract, through the pipelines and the infrastructure, to the traces that tell me what broke at 3am. Increasingly with AI wired through the middle.

  1. Design

    Boundaries, data models, API contracts.

  2. Build

    Services, event pipelines, AI where it earns its place.

  3. Deploy

    Containerised, declared as code, zero downtime.

  4. Operate

    Traces, metrics and SLOs before users notice.

About

  • Backend engineer (SDE 1) from Ayodhya, VIT Bhopal CSE graduate (class of 2026, CGPA 8.56), shipping production systems full time at Bajaj Finserv Health.
  • Came up through competitive programming — ICPC Asia West regionalist, LeetCode Knight — which is where I learned to care about the constant factors, not just the big-O.
  • At work: cross-border healthcare integrations, a notification system moved off schedulers onto Kafka, and the observability stack the team now debugs with.
  • On the side I build Plinth, an AI website builder that writes real, type-checked React and deploys it.
  • Open to backend and platform roles where the systems are hard and the on-call is real.

Where I've worked

Software Development Engineer

Bajaj Finserv Health Jan 2026 — Present
  • Built a FHIR/HL7 integration with Qatar's Ministry of Public Health end to end, from connectivity setup through production, enabling cross-border eligibility and enrollment.
  • Moved a scheduler-based notification system with up to 20s delay onto a Kafka event architecture, cutting delivery latency 80%+ with resilient retries.
  • Stood up a unified observability platform on ClickStack (OpenTelemetry, ClickHouse, HyperDX), replacing per-service log digging with one place to look.
  • Shipped an NGINX HTTPS gateway with IP and token rate limiting, cutting abusive traffic ~30% and closing off public exposure.
  • Wrote a reusable MFA and PIN auth module backed by Redis, taking 40–50% off request latency.

Backend Engineer

Stealth Startup, UK Aug 2025 — Dec 2025
  • Led the backend from 0→1, owning delivery from the first service through to production.
  • Built a communications microservice handling email, SMS, WhatsApp and OTP asynchronously, taking that work off the request path so each channel scales on its own.
  • Built search and filtering on Elasticsearch, with a caching layer in front of slow third-party APIs so their latency stopped being the user's problem.
  • Added rate limiting and DDoS mitigation at both the reverse proxy and the service layer.
  • Moved media storage to AWS S3 with client-side uploads, so large files never touch the application servers.
  • Ran Prometheus and Grafana in containers for real-time metrics, and wrote the backup and database disaster-recovery strategy.

Selected work

Plinth

Live 2026

AI website builder that ships real React.

Turns plain English into type-checked React, verifies every change before you see it, and rolls back on failure. You keep the code, the history and a one-click edge deploy.

InfraPilot

2026

Infrastructure as code for highly available AWS.

Not just a deploy pipeline — the infrastructure itself is automated. One push provisions VPCs, load balancers, IAM roles and ECS Fargate clusters from scratch. GitHub Actions authenticates with keyless OIDC instead of long-lived secrets, with S3 state and DynamoDB locking.

Architecture diagram: the IaC repo's Terraform workflow provisions an IAM OIDC role, VPC/ALB and ECS Fargate inside AWS, with state in S3 and DynamoDB, while the app repo's CI/CD pipeline pushes images through ECR to run on Fargate.

Fin-Ping

2025

Know a bank is down before you spend a fetch.

Reads bank downtime emails, uses an LLM to normalise wildly inconsistent bank names, and exposes a status feed personal-finance apps can check before burning their quota.

Diagram: a bank's status pings a finance app over a lightweight check, which shields it from spending an API call on a bank that's already known to be down.

Agri Weather

2025

Weather alerts for farmers without smartphones.

Turns forecast data into plain bilingual summaries with an LLM, then delivers them over SMS, WhatsApp and voice call in Hindi and English — built for anyone who isn't comfortable with an app, not just anyone without one.
