About
Hi, I’m Sohrab Sardari — a Senior Software Engineer and Tech Lead with 10+ years of experience building scalable backend architectures, high-throughput distributed systems, and low-latency financial engines.
What I Do
I specialize in designing and scaling mission-critical systems where correctness, throughput, and sub-millisecond latencies matter. Over the past decade, my work has spanned:
- Large-Scale Data Engineering: Architected high-throughput data processing pipelines using .NET TPL Dataflow, successfully migrating 5B+ core-banking records with bounded backpressure, zero data loss, and high concurrency.
- Low-Latency Engines: Engineered dynamic pricing and rule engines evaluating 400+ complex rules in under 5ms under heavy production traffic.
- Distributed Integrations: Built resilient integration layers connecting 300+ third-party suppliers and financial endpoints.
- Engineering Leadership: Led and mentored teams of engineers, establishing engineering standards around clean architecture, observability, automated testing, and CI/CD pipelines.
Primary Tech Stack & Interests
- Backend & Platforms: C#, .NET / ASP.NET Core, Go, Node.js
- Architecture & Patterns: Distributed Systems, Event-Driven Architecture, Microservices, Domain-Driven Design (DDD), Concurrency & Parallelism
- Data & Storage: PostgreSQL, Microsoft SQL Server, Redis, Elasticsearch
- Messaging & Streaming: RabbitMQ, Apache Kafka
- Infrastructure & Observability: Docker, Kubernetes, OpenTelemetry, Prometheus, Grafana
