Yashika Badaya
Software Engineer
Hi, I’m Yashika Badaya. I’m a software engineer with 7+ years of experience building scalable, resilient backend systems and distributed architectures. I’ve worked across global teams in London (United Kingdom), Brussels (Belgium), Bangalore (India), and Mumbai (India), contributing to both large-scale platforms and high-growth startups. My experience spans designing microservices, optimizing performance, and delivering systems used by millions. More recently, I’ve been focused on AI-driven applications—building and deploying LLM-powered systems, orchestration pipelines, and tools that create real-world impact. I enjoy working at the intersection of backend engineering, infrastructure, and applied AI.
