Backend Systems & Data Platform Engineer
Anusha modernizes the backend systems everyone else has learned to work around — in healthcare data, cloud FinOps, and now payments at PayPal.
Senior Software Engineer with nearly a decade of production experience in Ruby on Rails, Java, and data pipeline engineering across healthcare technology and cloud FinOps platforms. Currently at PayPal, Austin. Previously at VMware's CloudHealth and Oracle Cerner. Known for modernizing pipelines that other engineers had left untouched, writing documentation that survives team turnover, and treating on-call rotations as root-cause exercises rather than service restoration tasks.
