Tanmay Shahane | Hands-on CTO & Principal Architect Building high-performance SaaS & FinTech systems. Focus on Cost Optimization (40%+) and Scale.
"I don't just manage teams; I design the distributed systems they build."
⚡ Current Focus: KyubiSweep
The problem: Standard secret scanners (TruffleHog/Gitleaks) are too heavy for quick local audits. My Solution: A Go-based, quarantined secret scanner for local filesystems.
- 🚀 Speed: Scans deep directories in seconds.
- 🛡️ Quarantine: Moves risky files to a secure vault automatically.

A high-level view of how I design for resiliency and cost-efficiency (based on my work handling 500K+ daily requests).

I don't list "skills." I list the tools I bet my infrastructure on.
| Layer | My Choice | Why? (The "War Room" Logic) |
|---|---|---|
| Compute | AWS Lambda + K8s | Used this hybrid approach to cut infra costs by 42% ($180k/yr) at Famigo. |
| Backend | Node.js & Go | Node for rapid SaaS logic; Go for high-throughput microservices. |
| Database | PostgreSQL | Optimized queries by 73% (3.2s → 850ms) handling 50M+ records. |
| DevOps | Terraform | IaC is non-negotiable. Reduced deployment time from 2 hours → 12 mins. |
| Security | Shift-Left | Compliance (PCI-DSS/HIPAA) must be automated in the pipeline. |
- Context: Lead Architect for Bravo Tip or Pay (Featured on Shark Tank S9).
- The Challenge: High-volume transaction processing with zero margin for error.
- The Fix: Built a blockchain-based verification layer that reduced fraud by 89% and secured PCI-DSS compliance.
- Context: Migrating a legacy platform serving 1M+ users [Famigo].
- The Challenge: System was brittle; API response times averaged 800ms.
- The Fix: Strangled the monolith into Serverless Microservices.
- Result: 99.94% Uptime and API latency dropped to 180ms.
- Context: Architecting a WebRTC infrastructure for UTTM.
- The Challenge: Supporting 8K+ concurrent video streams.
- The Fix: Implemented a custom CDN strategy.
- Result: Reduced bandwidth costs by $15k/month and buffering by 81%.
