Saahil Basak


Backend & Systems Engineer

I build systems that survive real users — from real-time infrastructure to AI pipelines to production backends.

Medjeex Edutech · Delhi, India · Nov 2024 – Nov 2025

Built an edtech platform from scratch.

30+ screens · 1,000 concurrent users · sub-180ms API responses

Full-stack product owned entirely by one engineer — authentication, test engine, AI tutoring, live class system, behavioral analytics, and community platform — deployed within AWS free-tier constraints.

I design systems under real constraints — not ideal infrastructure, but production-grade results with what's actually available.

Freelance · Hedge Fund · NSE Futures Trading System

Engineered a live market data pipeline.

Millions of market ticks · Zero data loss under sustained load

A Python WebSocket-to-TCP bridge delivering live NSE futures into a MATLAB trading system — decoupled, binary-serialized, and sub-millisecond accessible via in-memory O(1) snapshot reads.

Reliability is a design choice. I build systems that are predictable when it matters most.

Ayla Voice Chat · Remote · Sep 2025 – Dec 2025

Inherited a broken production backend. Fixed it in one month.

Took ownership of a fragmented, undocumented Node.js backend for a social voice app. Re-architected into feature-scoped modules, stabilized real-time voice rooms with race-condition-free event handling, and shipped production-ready code — without touching production data.
