Hello, I'm Saurav

I build backend systems, dev tools and infrastructure that quietly keep things fast, reliable and sane.

I'm currently a Senior Software Engineer on the Backtrace team at Sauce Labs, working on a multitenant service with on-prem features and real-time error ingestion. Before this, I worked at Zepto and BrowserStack on analytics platforms, contract systems, microservices, CI/CD, databases, and performance tooling.

I like solving messy engineering problems, making systems simpler, and shipping things that actually help people. Outside work, I'm building Sharevo, a small consumer app for saving and finding liked content across social platforms.
