Rajasekhar Kanaparthi

“Former multi-startup CTO with experience supporting successful capital raises and working directly with boards/investors. Known for implementing operational systems that reduce client escalations (e.g., a status/semaphore overview board) and for building UX-forward MVPs that evolve into automated platforms, including a loan underwriting system for a small US lender.”

“Backend engineer with healthcare-domain experience building a security-critical RBAC identity/authentication/authorization microservice suite used across hospital imaging platforms (X-Ray, Ultrasound, etc.). Demonstrates strong security mindset (mTLS, cert hygiene, JWT, pen-testing collaboration) and pragmatic scaling/reliability practices (Nginx load balancing, Redis caching, automated tests, canary rollouts).”

“Full-stack engineer and KICKOFFUSA cofounder who built production payment/registration and live tournament experiences under real matchday load (200+ concurrent users), including Stripe webhooks with idempotency and UX improvements that cut checkout abandonment ~15%. Also owned an end-to-end research hub at a GTSCL internship—designed a normalized Postgres schema and full-text search (tsvector/GIN) delivering sub-100ms queries for 300+ researchers.”
