About

I'm Yash Bhardwaj, a senior software engineer based in Bangalore, India. I build event-driven, high-throughput backend systems by day — and ship AI-augmented side projects with Claude and MCP by night.

My day job is Equinix's customer-data backbone. I started on the Contact domain — built the full-load + delta-load ingestion from Informatica MDM into Postgres, the APIs that read from it, and the staging tables that brokered every CRUD request (with Jolt handling the JSON-to-JSON transforms). I then took the same playbook to the Account domain. Now I'm on Lead-to-Cash coexistence: a Kafka-driven sync that keeps three customer-master systems consistent through a multi-year migration — ~500 events/day live, built to scale — while still picking up work across other domains as part of the fullstack LTC team.

Outside of work I'm exploring what disciplined teams of one can ship with the new wave of AI tooling — autonomous Claude routines, MCP servers, full-stack mobile apps. Looking for Staff-level scope where I can drive architecture, mentor engineers, and own systems end-to-end.

01 Experience

Mar 2023 — Present

Senior Associate Software Engineer · Equinix

Bangalore, India

Owning the New SFDC ↔ Legacy SFDC ↔ Siebel integration — a critical workstream in Equinix's company-wide Lead-to-Cash transformation.

  • Owned end-to-end design and delivery of a Kafka-driven integration bidirectionally syncing every Account and Contact across three customer-master systems through a multi-year migration. Live in production, processing ~500 events/day in MVP rollout and built to scale.
  • Architected the transformation layer using Apache Velocity templates — mapping events to target-system APIs while handling idempotency, retries, and field-level edge cases.
  • Drove cross-team alignment across SFDC, Siebel, MDM, and consuming-system teams — the single technical point of contact for the sync.
  • Core contributor to the Account & Contact Platform exposing standardized DIH APIs over Informatica MDM — serving ~30K calls/day on average, bursting to ~150K across sales, ops, and finance.
  • Shipped Java + Spring Boot microservices that eliminated direct MDM access for consuming applications, reducing duplicated lookups and tightening data consistency across the org.
  • Built Kafka-based event integrations to replace fragile point-to-point integrations with a durable event log; built Apache NiFi orchestration with auditing and traceability for governance.
  • Tuned PostgreSQL schemas and queries for high-throughput transactional workloads; set up Grafana monitoring and GitHub Actions CI/CD for the platform.

  • Designed REST APIs in Java + Spring Boot, integrated payment gateways, and modeled transactional + analytical data across PostgreSQL and MongoDB.
