Kushan Devarajegowda

R&D Software Engineer at Broadcom

Code wizard by day, system architect by night! Turning complex problems into elegant solutions since 2017. Currently building the future of wireless tech at Broadcom, one microservice at a time. I make distributed systems play nice and APIs that actually work on the first try (plot twist: they don't, but I fix them fast!).

About Me

Hey there! 👋 I'm a productivity-obsessed developer who builds internal tools and infrastructure solutions that make complex workflows feel like magic! Currently at Broadcom, where I architect and develop the behind-the-scenes systems that keep engineering teams productive and happy (yes, both are possible!).

With a Master's in Computer Science and hands-on experience across the full development spectrum, I specialize in creating solutions that bridge the gap between business needs and technical reality. Whether it's building REST APIs that handle enterprise-scale traffic, designing cloud infrastructure that scales effortlessly, or creating internal platforms that turn tedious manual processes into one-click operations - I make it happen! I'm fluent in everything from low-level C++ to modern web frameworks.

From Amazon's sophisticated automation pipelines to VMware's enterprise infrastructure, I've built systems that power developer productivity at massive scale. I'm that engineer who gets genuinely excited about optimizing deployment processes, loves building APIs so intuitive they barely need documentation, and believes that great internal tools are the secret weapon of high-performing engineering teams! 🛠️✨
