About

Hi, I'm Meghraj Choudhary.

Senior Principal Engineer at MiddlewareJodhpur, Rajasthan, India

Say hello: [email protected]

I've spent more than 10 years building software, all of it with the same core team. I've never switched jobs; the company name changed as we built new products.

My background runs from Node.js, Go and PHP to e-commerce platforms and SaaS, and these days Kubernetes, AWS and Terraform. I like designing systems that scale, and making them fast and efficient.

Much of my recent work is in observability, helping teams see what their systems are doing, and in big-data streaming with Redpanda, where the job is moving large volumes of data quickly and reliably.

What I'm working on

  • Writing Rust and Go.
  • Column-oriented database internals, with ClickHouse and an in-house database.
  • Running the infrastructure and configuring the AI stack.
  • Leading the team that builds the core application.

Career · one team since 2012

Same core team since 2012. We started as a services company building software for clients around the world, then built our own product, Acquire. Its success showed us the same kind of gaps in the observability stack, so we founded Middleware. I've never changed jobs; the company name changed as each new chapter started, and the people stayed the same.
