Avinash Ghare
I architect real-time, high-traffic systems — the kind that stay fast and secure at six figures of concurrent load. 10+ years across Node.js, MongoDB, Redis, and cloud infrastructure, with the last few spent leading engineers as much as writing code.
Where I've built things
A decade of shipping and leading — from PHP freelancer to tech lead on real-time platforms.
- Build and optimize REST APIs for real-time gaming platforms using Node.js, Nest.js, MongoDB, and Socket.io — pairing with Cursor and Claude to accelerate development, code review, and documentation.
- Led security and performance hardening: Redis-based caching plus JWT token auth, cutting latency and tightening the API security posture.
- Designed fault-tolerant microservice architectures holding up under high concurrent load with low latency.
- Set encryption standards and secure API design practices across services; ran peer code reviews and enforced coding standards.
- Deploy containerized Node.js services to Kubernetes on AWS and GCP, working alongside DevOps teams.
- Wired up Datadog and APM for real-time performance monitoring and error tracking.
- Led end-to-end development of a real-time fantasy gaming platform on Node.js, Vue.js, MongoDB, and Socket.io, supporting 100K+ concurrent users.
- Mentored 10+ developers and directed code reviews and coding standards, raising sprint delivery efficiency by 20%.
- Directed legacy cleanups that improved long-term maintainability across the codebase.
- Deployed containerized Node.js services to Kubernetes on AWS and GCP, working alongside DevOps teams.
- Integrated APM and Datadog for application monitoring and performance tracking.
Built web solutions in PHP (CodeIgniter), AngularJS, and Node.js; integrated the Google Places API for location-based features; maintained backends for anyinformation.com and achadiscount.in.
Delivered web projects with CodeIgniter, AngularJS, and Sails.js — including indiavaluehomes.com, magicmirror.in, and lylaloves.co.uk.
Built PHP/MySQL applications and assisted on front-end with jQuery and HTML5, including cmchess.com and homaa.in.
Problems I've solved
Three engagements, each with a clear problem, my part in it, and the measurable result.
Production APIs serving high concurrent traffic needed to meet industry security standards without regressing response times.
Implemented JWT-based token auth, encryption standards, and Redis-based caching across services; established secure API design practices and led peer reviews.
Team needed to ship REST APIs faster without cutting corners on code quality or documentation.
Introduced Claude and Cursor into the API design, code review, and documentation workflow as standard practice.
A growing platform's legacy code and inconsistent review practices were slowing the team down.
Directed legacy cleanups and code review standards, mentored 10+ developers, and integrated Datadog/APM for real-time visibility.
