— Hi, I'm
Niharika Dutta
Software Engineer
3+ years shipping cloud-native systems — microservices, event-driven pipelines, and cloud security at scale.
I'm a Software Engineer with 3+ years building microservice platforms and cloud-native architectures — Java, Spring Boot, React, Node.js, and AWS — currently at Turbot working on cloud security and governance (PSPM) tooling.
I gravitate toward systems work: schema design, event-driven pipelines, CI/CD automation, and chasing down performance regressions. I enjoy migrations and codebase modernization. Comfortable collaborating in agile teams — sprint-based delivery, cross-functional pairing, and mentoring engineers to independent ownership.

Turbot HQ, Inc.
Software Engineer
Jul 2023 - Present
New York, USA (Remote)
- ▹Cut storage costs by ~60% by designing a log archival pipeline in Java Spring Boot that aggregates logs across services and writes partitioned Parquet files to S3.
- ▹Built a real-time event-driven pipeline in Node.js integrating AWS EventBridge, SNS, CloudTrail, and Lambda — handles 1.2k events/min with fault-tolerant polling fallback.
- ▹Optimized React app performance via reusable components, code splitting, and virtualized rendering — bundle 900KB → 350KB gzipped, page load 3.8s → 1.9s.
- ▹Built Terraform/OpenTofu infrastructure test automation across AWS, Azure, and GCP — cut deployment cycles ~60% and prod issues 20%.
- ▹Optimized GraphQL API P95 from 2.4s to under 1s using DataLoaders, SQL indexing, and Redis caching.
- ▹Built AI-powered remediation in Turbot Guardrails — generates Terraform/CLI commands from compliance violations across Anthropic, OpenAI, and Bedrock.
- ▹Led AWS SDK v2→v3 migration across 180+ services in 2 months (3-member team) with zero regressions.
- ▹Mentored and onboarded 4+ engineers to independent delivery within their first month.

Things I've shipped.
Built on too much coffee ☕️ and too little sleep — side projects where I went deep into streaming pipelines, database internals, and the systems-level rabbit holes that don't fit a sprint.
🎥 VideoHub
Video streaming platform
End-to-end HLS video streaming with FFmpeg-based parallel transcoding across 5 resolutions (240p–1080p), Spring Boot microservices, Kafka event-driven pipeline, and AWS S3 storage. JWT auth with RBAC, embeddable adaptive-bitrate player.
DBViz
Interactive PostgreSQL visualizer
Single-binary database internals visualizer — connects to your Postgres, runs EXPLAIN ANALYZE, animates B-tree page traversal, and lets you toggle indexes to see query-planner behavior live. Go backend with embedded React frontend.
Let's build
something good.
