SYSTEMS THAT
SCALES
I am Piyush Kumar, a Software Engineer II at GOTO Group, where I specialize in building mission-critical identity verification infrastructure within the OneKYC Team.
My engineering philosophy is built on the foundation of reliability and performance. I believe that a backend should be invisible: so robust and efficient that it handles millions of transactions with zero friction.
From architecting real-time verification pipelines that slash latency from days to seconds, to implementing global payment systems across 11 countries, I thrive on solving complex distributed system challenges.
