Background

About Pratik Gurukar

I’m a backend-focused full stack engineer with 5+ years of experience building scalable products across fintech, healthtech, and adtech domains—driving over $100M+ in outcomes across the platforms I’ve helped build. My work sits at the intersection of engineering excellence, data-driven decision-making, and product thinking.Currently at Adrsta AI, I’ve been leading the backend architecture of a marketing science SaaS platform that automates ad targeting across Google and Meta. I designed and deployed microservices using Spring Boot, AWS, DynamoDB, and Python, improving campaign processing times by 95% and enabling real-time data sync with CDPs. This reduced manual workload by over 80% and scaled to support multiple enterprise clients.Previously, I worked at Jiraaf, where I built secure investment transaction APIs, integrating with NSE and payment gateways to support 100 Cr+ in transaction volume. I implemented Keycloak-based RBAC for 50K+ users, enhancing access control and compliance.As founder of TraderOps, I took an idea to production—designing backend systems, trade execution logic, and Kubernetes-based infrastructure to support 10K+ concurrent users. This experience strengthened my leadership, problem-solving, and cross-functional collaboration skills.I enjoy working at the confluence of system design, data engineering, and performance optimization. I bring clarity to ambiguity, lead with initiative, and care deeply about writing clean, reliable, and scalable code. My stack includes Spring Boot, React, Node.js, PostgreSQL, AWS, Docker, and Kubernetes.Let’s connect if you’re looking for an engineer who not only ships robust code but also understands how it impacts users, teams, and business outcomes.Core SkillsSpring Boot · Microservices · AWS · Python · React · PostgreSQL · CDPs · Node.js · Kubernetes · System Design · Data Pipelines · Product Thinking
