Hi, I'm Savan Ghori
Node.js Backend Developer | Building scalable, resilient, and performant APIs and Microservices.
About Me
I’m a backend developer with experience in building scalable systems and microservices with Node.js. Currently, I contribute to our headless CMS product Experro at Rapidops, focusing on multi-tenant, multi-language, multi-environment, and multi-workspace architecture.
I mainly manage the content management part of Experro—handling content models, content versioning, publishing workflows, translation flows, and language fallback systems. I also manage the APIs used by our storefront side, where the content is delivered to a large number of users. My work includes improving performance through caching, indexing, and optimized API design. I enjoy solving complex backend problems and building reliable systems that scale across different regions, teams, and platforms.

Selected Projects
Scalable E-Commerce API
Node.js, Express, JavaScript, CockroachDB, Redis, Docker
A high-throughput REST API designed to handle over 1000 requests per second. Implemented a microservice architecture for product catalog, user authentication, and order processing. Utilized Redis for session management and caching high-traffic product data.
Real-Time Chat Service
Node.js, Socket.io, MongoDB, JWT Authentication
Developed a low-latency, real-time chat service using Socket.io for persistent connections. The service supports group chats and private messaging with robust, token-based authentication (JWT). Optimized MongoDB indexes for fast message retrieval.
Serverless Data Processor (GCP/AWS)
Node.js, Google Cloud Functions / AWS Lambda, Pub/Sub, Firestore
A cost-effective serverless solution for processing data streams. The system ingests large data payloads, validates them via a Node.js function, and persists them to a NoSQL database, demonstrating strong cloud architecture skills.
Professional Experience
Software Engineer
Rapidops Inc. · Full-time · Aug 2025 - Present
- Engineered the core Experimentation feature (A/B testing and personalization) that manages traffic distribution to test new content, search, and merchandising rules against live users based on segments.
- Used real-time event analytics to measure and confirm the performance of variants, enabling website owners to identify high-converting content and automatically publishing the winning content to the live website, resulting in up to a 25% increase in revenue.
- Applied a two-layer caching strategy using Bunny CDN full-page caching and server-side API caching, reducing backend load by around 40% and significantly improving overall response times.
Junior Software Engineer
Rapidops Inc. · Full-time · Aug 2023 - Sep 2025
- Developed and maintained a robust multi-tenant, multi-environment, and multi-language architecture (including dynamic translation workflows with language fallback mechanisms) for the Experro platform.
- Developed flexible content models with single-entry, multi-entry, and nested components, including dynamic fields, validation rules, and reusable schema structures.
- Implemented a structured system for records built from content models, supporting single-type and multi-entry records, each with multiple versions and variants, allowing fully dynamic web pages to be managed through the CMS.
- Implemented a complete content versioning system, including scheduled publish/unpublish, version comparison, and environment-based publishing workflows for Headless CMS Experro.
- Core Development: Built and maintained scalable RESTful APIs using Node.js and Express.js, forming the backbone of the microservices.
- Integrated and synchronized SKU-level e-commerce data—including products, categories, and brands—from BigCommerce and Shopify into the CMS to support accurate search, filtering, and storefront content alignment.
Software Engineer Intern
Rapidops Inc. · Internship · Feb 2023 - Aug 2023
