STATUS: OPEN TO WORK

Hi, I'm Bishakha Kumari Shaw

Backend Software Engineer

I architect and harden backend systems — Java microservices, event-driven Kafka pipelines, and databases tuned to stay fast under real production load. The kind of infrastructure that's invisible when it's working right.

Engineered for scale & reliability

Bishakha Kumari Shaw

I build the parts users never see

I'm a Backend Software Engineer currently building scalable microservices at Digit Insurance. I spend my time on the parts of a product that don't show up in a screenshot: event-driven pipelines that move data reliably, query plans that don't fall over under load, and APIs that stay boring even when traffic isn't. From REST endpoints to enterprise underwriting workflows, I bring system architecture to life — and keep it alive at 2am.
