Sachin Raja

Sachin Raja

Sachin is a Senior Software Engineer who spends his days wrangling Golang, AWS, Kubernetes, and the occasional Friday deployment he immediately regrets. He’s built and scaled backend systems for teams that like their platforms fast, reliable, and (mostly) drama-free.

Over the years, he’s worked on everything from multi-tenant migrations and CI/CD pipelines that actually behave, to backend services that don’t wake him up at 3 AM. He loves clean architecture, simple solutions to messy problems, and developers who write good commit messages.

When Sachin isn't deep in code, you’ll find him experimenting with side projects, helping teammates level up, or trying (and failing) to keep his local dev environment perfectly organized.

Je travaille en freelance comme lead UX designer, psychologue depuis le dernier millénaire.

Ma vision de l’expérience utilisateur repose sur deux démarches complémentaires, l’une pragmatique autour de la conception de services et l’autre stratégique autour de l’évolution des organisations et l’intégration du design au sein des équipes.

Je travaille depuis 2020 pour beta.gouv.fr toujours en freelance afin d’essayer d’améliorer les services publics avec l’intention de changer le monde, de le rendre meilleur et de limiter la crise climatique qui arrive, mais avant ça il faut que je pense à faire du pain et bien d’autres choses plus ou moins futile comme un potager, du miel et du cidre.
