ABOUT ME
Lead Backend Developer with 8+ yrs of experience (Working at VISA Inc)
Lead Backend Developer with 8+ yrs of experience (Working at VISA Inc)

Staff Software Engineer with 8+ years of experience building scalable full-stack systems, developer platforms, and fintech integrations. Currently at Visa Inc., where I architect AI-native developer platforms and developed a Model Context Protocol (MCP) framework that enables LLMs to generate production-ready payment integration code while preventing API hallucinations—reducing merchant onboarding time from 30 days to 3 days.

Strong expertise in Node.js, TypeScript, and Java for backend systems, along with React.js for building developer portals and complex frontend dashboards. Experienced in designing REST APIs, distributed systems, SDK platforms, and secure payment architectures. I actively leverage AI coding tools like ChatGPT and GitHub Copilot to accelerate development, refactor legacy systems, and improve engineering productivity across full-stack applications.

I needed some additional functionality in modifying pdf files. Gaurav made solid suggestions for input error checking, combining multiple processes into a single script and documenting the results in a meaningful way. This was my second project working with Gaurav. Like the first, from start to finish it was great.

I needed several Python scripts. From start to finish, working with Gaurav was great. He started working on the project right away and completed the first versions in only a few hours. For the original specs and any difficulties or modifications needed, he was very responsive. My programming skills are very basic and his clear and understandable communication was appreciated. I will be a repeat customer!
