Summary
Gagan Mishra is a Senior Software Engineer with 14 years of hands-on experience building distributed systems, backend services, data pipelines and developer tooling across large e-commerce platforms and early-stage startups. He has repeatedly owned end-to-end product lifecycles—architecting microservices, sharding databases, and setting up CI/CD and dev-ops practices—from Flipkart’s MySQL sharding to Amazon’s supply-chain and AuroraDSQL billing and metering. At Amazon he introduced stable-supplier algorithms, modernized legacy stacks, and achieved significant infrastructure cost reductions through caching and reusable computation artifacts. He’s comfortable from low-level firmware and multicore simulation work to high-throughput e-commerce backends, and has built teams and developer ecosystems from scratch at GaragePlug and MotorZo. Now based in Seattle and contributing to open-source Aerospike client tooling, he pairs deep systems thinking with pragmatic delivery and a taste for operational resilience. Colleagues know him as a generalist who prefers owning hard, cross-cutting problems rather than narrow features.
