Build
Turning product ideas into polished, production-ready software.
Hi, I'm Surabhi đź‘‹
Engineering thoughtful products, end to end.
Senior Full-Stack Software Engineer
I build products from the UI all the way down to the systems that keep them running—turning ambiguous problems into reliable, scalable, user-friendly software.

01 / About me
I like the whole picture.
I'm happiest connecting the details across a product: what a person sees, what an API promises, how data moves, and what keeps the system healthy at scale.
Scale
Designing APIs, distributed systems, caching, cloud infrastructure, and resilient applications.
Collaborate
Partnering closely with product, design, QA, engineers, stakeholders, and external teams.
02 / Capabilities
My technical universe
Tools are only useful in context. Explore the systems I use to take an idea from first interaction to dependable infrastructure.
Frontend7 technologies
A flexible toolkit, applied with pragmatism—not dogma.
03 / Selected work
Engineering in practice
A few systems and products I've helped shape—each starting with a different kind of complexity.
01Distributed systems
Showtimes Platform
Owned an international showtimes platform end-to-end, designing for freshness, speed, and graceful failure across upstream providers.

02Backend architecture
Retail API
Built product-feed ingestion and decisioning services used for advertising experiences, with scheduled ingestion, caching, and multi-instance cloud deployments.
03Interactive product
demo.kargo.com
Built and evolved a Next.js application that recreates publisher environments to preview advertising experiences across desktop, mobile, and connected TV.
04AI engineering
AI Page Rebuilder
Built an AI-assisted system that analyzes webpages and reconstructs their structure as React implementations using browser automation and LLM-assisted code generation.
05Public sector
Enterprise Applications
Worked on enterprise applications for the New York City Department of Education, contributing to complex, high-impact workflows without exposing proprietary implementation details.
04 / Engineering philosophy
Own the problem, not just the ticket.

02
Simple systems beat clever systems.
03
Design for failure.
04
Understand the user before designing the architecture.
05
Automate repetitive work.
06
Keep learning.
05 / Beyond the code
There's more to me than code.
The best work is grounded in curiosity, community, and a life with room for things that matter beyond a screen.
