Hi, my name is
Ayush Anand.
Software Engineer @ Zomato.
I build high-throughput backend systems with Go, Kafka, and AWS — vendor payouts at 10K+ disbursements/day, real-time notification and invoice pipelines, and vision pipelines for warehouse SOP checks. Previously at JPMorgan Chase and DB News, GSoC '22 with IOOS. I maintain open-source Python packages for ocean data (pyobis, py-dwc-viz).
About Me
Hello! My name is Ayush Anand and I build backend systems that solve real-world problems. I work on databases and networks, currently as a Software Engineer at Zomato in Bengaluru — vendor payouts at 10K+ disbursements/day, invoice and notification pipelines on Go, Kafka, DynamoDB, and Redis, plus vision pipelines for warehouse monitoring.
Here are a few technologies I've been working with recently:
- Golang
- Python
- C++
- TypeScript
- JavaScript
- Postgres
- MySQL
- React
- Redis
- gRPC
- Node.js
- Kafka
- AWS
- Docker
- REST API
- CI/CD
- Git
- Linux

Things I do 💻
- experiment with algorithms and software systems, love playing with their internals at Zomato.
- volunteering software engineering time at MBON (Marine Biodiversity Observation Network), working to save animals
- writing a weekly blog of thoughts into tech, stem, nature and mankind - read me on Medium
- Hacker's Tribe community member - Delhi NCR's largest open source community
Projects I'm working on 👨💻
- crazyhttp — async HTTP/3 server library in Go [on GitHub]
- crazygraphstore — LSM-tree storage engine for graph databases [on GitHub]
- helping maintain an open-source python package forOpen Ocean Data
- helping maintain a Darwin Core Data Visualizationpython package
Things I did previously 🔎
- working at JP Morgan Chase as a Software Engineer, building tools that solve critical business issues.
- worked as a software developer for Crypto News Feed Streaming Platform
- worked as the vice chair of the student society at my campus - ISTE Students' Chapter NIT Durgapur Students Branch.
- created a custom branded ChatGPT alternative for a South American EdTech Company.
- worked at a Web3 AI "deep-tech" startup, developing cutting-edge AI Apps.
- worked on mapping diversity through diversity indices.
- created a AI based conversation booking ecommerce site with an American Fitness Brand.
- built a med-tech app to detect heart disease using eye images.
- built an open-source python package for fetching Earth and Atmospheric data as easily as calling a function.
- worked with a Child Care NGO to implement a code for good project against child abuse, using a web-based chatbot that can help reduce unreported abuses.
- built a blockchain powered tool to track hospital beds and ventilators in COVID19 hospitals.
- ran a Rotary Sponsored Interact Club with programs such as raising awareness against Polio Eradication and Donation drives to local Orphanages in high school.
- built a google assistant chatbot to help detect fake news - got some cool swags from Google for this. I am a Udacity deep learning nanodegree graduate.

CrazyGraphStore - LSM-Tree Storage Engine for Graphs
Storage engine for graph databases written from scratch in Go. 3-phase write pipeline (memory → disk → compaction) with crash recovery and bloom-filter lookups on SSTables. Benchmarked at 500K+ reads/sec and 50K+ writes/sec, ~23% higher write throughput than Neo4j in local benchmarks.
CrazyPDF - Advanced PDF Processing Library
An advanced PDF processing library written in Go that provides powerful tools for manipulating, analyzing, and converting PDF documents. This project focuses on performance and reliability while offering extensive PDF operations including text extraction, image processing, document merging, and format conversion.
CrazyHTTP - HTTP/3 Server Library
An async HTTP/3 (HTTP over QUIC) server library in Go, H/1.1 + H/2 compliant, using event loops and native Linux primitives with Cloudflare's quiche. Achieved ~153x faster startup and ~50% lower p95 RTT compared to FastAPI in local benchmarks.
pyobis - Open Ocean Data Package
Python client for the OBIS API built during Google Summer of Code 2022 with IOOS. Rebuilt with full endpoint coverage and 100% unit test coverage; 5+ new features, 27+ issues resolved, 30 merged PRs. Reduced data processing time by over 70% for marine researchers.
Experience
Software Engineer @ Zomato
Dec 2024 - Present
- Built an end-to-end automated outbound calling platform targeting churned merchants; integrated telecom APIs with an AI voice bot at 300 calls/min, with transcription and summarization into actionable buckets — driving 60% higher merchant engagement.
- Built a scalable vendor invoice ingestion and approval system using in-house LLM services; validated extracted data against POs with rule-based checks, routed conflicts for human approval, and auto-posted approved invoices — reducing processing costs 10x and turnaround time by 50%.
- Built a ledger accrual and vendor payout system with SFTP based Bank integrations (using Go, Kafka, DynamoDB, Redis) to automate disbursements for 10K+ vendors daily, eliminating 20 hours/week of manual reconciliation and reducing payout errors.
- Increased completion of critical SalesOps tasks by 35% by shipping a real-time push notification platform (Go + Kafka); designed idempotent consumers, retry/backoff, and rules-based routing so the right teams acted on the right events fast.
- Built a computer vision pipeline ingesting live CCTV streams to detect SOP breaches and trigger real-time alerts under 300ms latency, reducing warehouse pilferage costs by 30% within the first week.
- Improved reliability across a microservices stack by optimizing high-latency APIs (profiling + otel metrics) and remediating critical vulnerabilities in older systems.
Some Things I've Built
Featured Project
Saathi | Promoting justice to victims of any harassment, bullying, or abuse
Built a Natural Language Processing (NLP) based chatbot that supports women and victims of abuse, simultaneously safeguarding their privacy by generating anonymised 16 digit tokens with 100% security focused design.
- NodeJS
- NLP.JS
- Firebase
Featured Project
RespirCov | Blockchain powered interactive ventilator and hospital beds tracker
RespirCov is a blockchain-powered application to provide a live, interactive dashboard for monitoring ventilator availability in an area.
