VairavLet’s talk

I’m Vairav.

Engineer. Builder. Traveller. Occasional over-planner.

A Little Context

I started my career building frontend applications and gradually found myself more interested in what happened underneath them — how systems behaved under load, how services fit together, how infrastructure affected the user experience, and how to make software easier for teams to change.

Over the years, that curiosity took me from semiconductor engineering tools to education platforms and eventually to Delta Air Lines, where I work across frontend engineering, AWS architecture, performance and distributed systems.

I’ve always enjoyed being close to the actual problem. Sometimes that means writing the code. Sometimes it’s designing the architecture, writing an RFC, debugging a production issue or helping another engineer understand why something works the way it does.

Frontend → Full-stack → Cloud → Systems → Architecture

Understand the problem. Build the simplest thing that can survive it.

What I Work On

Build

Production-grade frontend and backend systems that are designed to be maintained, not just shipped.

Architect

Cloud-native systems, APIs, distributed services and the decisions that connect them.

Improve

Performance, reliability, developer experience and the technical debt that eventually gets in the way.

Explore

GenAI, new engineering patterns and whatever interesting problem comes next.
