Srikar Yaganti

I'm Srikar—a backend engineer who builds low-latency systems and isn't afraid to own the full stack from infrastructure to product.

Recently: Built an algorithmic trading system for Polymarket prediction markets—Go decision engine with multi-source real-time data ingestion (Chainlink, Binance, Polymarket WebSockets) and a TypeScript execution service for gasless order management on Polygon. Also built an air-gapped RAG platform for defense/aerospace document intelligence, and a bare-metal crypto market data aggregation API hitting 35-75ms end-to-end latency across 4 exchanges.

Background: Principal engineer at a Web3 startup scaling to 200+ DAOs, building multi-chain infrastructure handling $1B+ transaction volume across 15+ EVM blockchains. Backend engineer at fintech unicorn, optimizing JVM performance to 10ms p90 latency at 3M+ daily requests, building data pipelines processing 2M+ emails daily. Infrastructure and data platform engineering at Amazon.

Expertise: Low-latency distributed systems, real-time data pipelines, event-driven architectures, blockchain infrastructure, performance optimization. Security-first mindset (SOC2, SLSA Level 3). Comfortable with ambiguity—know when to build tactical solutions vs long-term architecture.

Outside work: Dad to 2 dogs, riding motorcycles, reading anthropology and psychology, keeping up with interesting science.
