Melbourne, AU · Software Engineer

I build reliable software with a product mind and a human pulse.

I am Yuvraj Bajwa, a Melbourne-based software engineer who likes turning messy product problems into dependable systems, thoughtful user experiences, and tools people can trust.

Recently in Melbourne, still led by curiosity, craft, and useful products.

I started my career in Auckland and have since moved to Melbourne, bringing a mix of commercial engineering experience, product curiosity, and a bias for building things that make daily work easier.

My best work sits between reliability and feeling: APIs that hold up, interfaces that make sense, delivery habits that keep teams moving, and product decisions that respect the person using the software.

100+ features shipped in B2B product teams
20% faster planning-to-delivery cycle
85% coverage target reached on new features
200+ code reviews focused on design and delivery quality

Software Engineer at StayinFront

Since 2021, I have worked across feature delivery, architecture, quality practices, and engineering enablement in a commercial B2B software environment.

Native chat platform

Replaced a third-party iframe module with a native chat capability.

Reduced user and channel synchronisation from 30-60 minutes to near-instant while improving reliability, maintainability, and user experience.

Delivery systems

Helped accelerate delivery without lowering engineering standards.

Delivered 100+ product features and reduced planning-to-delivery cycle time by 20% through early technical design, iterative testing, and agile execution.

Cloud and APIs

Designed resilient web-service integrations and cloud-native solutions.

Integrated RESTful APIs and third-party systems using loosely coupled architecture, design patterns, AWS, and Azure-oriented deployment practices.

Quality and mentorship

Raised quality practices in legacy systems.

Established TDD and CI/CD practices, achieved 85% code coverage on new features, mentored three engineers, and reduced onboarding time by 40%.

Commercial product work, founder-led AI product development, and practical systems thinking.

Platform capability

Template-based export generation

Built a batch PowerPoint generation feature that populates slides with photo metadata, comments, and expressions, then exports to PowerPoint, PDF, Excel, and ZIP formats.

Performance

Large-scale image retrieval optimisation

Improved SQL indexing, query joins, and file access patterns to reduce bottlenecks and improve reliability under load.

Auckland foundations, Melbourne chapter.

University of Auckland

Bachelor of Science in Computer Science and Information Systems

Built the technical foundation for software engineering, systems thinking, databases, web development, and product-oriented problem solving.

Recognition

8 Outstanding Performance Awards in Computer Science courses.

Academic momentum that carried into commercial engineering: learning quickly, staying precise, and caring about the quality of the result.

The tools change. The engineering habits stay consistent.

I am strongest in full-stack product engineering, web-service integration, pragmatic cloud architecture, and quality systems that make teams faster over time.
