Engineer Ships Systems at Scale — and Keeps Score

A profile of Yash Kumar, the developer turning release pipelines and AI experiments into production reality.

NEW DELHI — Yash Kumar, a Software Engineer at Urban Company, has spent the past year quietly rewiring how software reaches millions of users — building an over-the-air release system for microfrontends that lifted new-bundle adoption to 95 percent and cut release time from hours to under fifteen minutes.

His work spans the unglamorous and the cutting-edge alike: instant rollback flows, a hardened Amazon BMS integration over mutual TLS, and design-to-development parity across more than 150 React Native components. Off the clock, he is an AI tinkerer and a relentless competitive programmer with 1,100-plus problems solved.

“I like shipping fast, sweating the details, and keeping my edge sharp,” he says. The full record runs across this edition — from the career ledger to the projects gazette.
