Vigynesh Bhatt

About

Software engineer with experience across Goldman Sachs, BYU Broadcasting, Juniper Networks, and an edtech startup (Doubtnut), spanning data migrations, AWS-based media backends, and microservices observability. Built a Redis/ElastiCache caching layer in front of DynamoDB/S3 to improve media delivery latency and cost, and created an SEO indexing automation tool using the Google Search Console API that saved ~15–30 person-hours per day.

Key Strengths

• Owned high-stakes SQL data migration of ~70K accounts / 5–6M records with strong focus on integrity and security

• Runs cross-functional pre-production test migrations to surface edge cases and improve reliability
• Designed and implemented Redis cache layer (cache-aside + dynamic TTLs) to reduce DynamoDB latency and cost
• Pragmatic trade-off analysis (managed ElastiCache vs self-managed Redis) balancing cost, complexity, and UX
• Microservices experience with async messaging (SQS/Kafka) and container deployments (EC2/ECS)
• Implemented service-mesh observability with Istio tracing routed to Jaeger and mesh visualization via Kiali
• Built internal automation tool integrating GSC API with centralized failure dashboard; saved ~15–30 hours/day
• Effective prioritization and delegation under competing responsibilities (release manager rotation + feature delivery)
