Urjit Singh Bhatia

Hi!

I'm a software engineer based in San Francisco — usually working on back-end services, infrastructure, machine learning and data. I like writing high performance code, hunting for efficiency in production systems to improve performance and lowering cost footprint.

Want to work together or looking for my current resume? Resume

Along with thinking about code, I like figuring out team dynamics, approaching problems from a user-oriented product perspective and digging deep into complex problems, and providing additional leadership bandwidth wherever required.

Over the years, I have worked in Golang, Python, Java, C#, C/C++, and some small/side projects in Elixir, Erlang, Rust.

My free time is spent on side projects, reading, cooking, photography, hiking and power-lifting. Most recently, I bought a gravel bike and have been obsessing over my Strava strats :)

I grew up in India and have lived in multiple cities, most recently in San Francisco, New York, and Atlanta for Grad School at Georgia Tech — Go Jackets! I can converse in Punjabi, Hindi, Gujarati, English, & lately Norsk (still learning, thanks Duolingo!)
