Gaurav Awasthi

Senior Technical Lead with 15+ years of experience

Senior Technical Lead with 15+ years of experience designing and delivering high‑performance backend, embedded, and distributed systems across Building Automation, Automotive, and Banking domains. I specialize in C/C++ (11/14/17), Linux, system architecture, and performance‑critical software development.

I’ve led engineering teams, owned complex releases, and architected backend components for large‑scale platforms. At Johnson Controls, I contributed to the Metasys Building Automation System, delivering 10+ major features, improving BACnet/IP interoperability by 20%, and ensuring back‑to‑back releases with zero critical defects. My work spans supervisory engines, field controllers, protocol integration, and distributed backend services.

I enjoy solving deep technical challenges — memory management, concurrency, performance tuning, protocol design, and system optimization. I also actively leverage AI‑assisted development (GitHub Copilot, ChatGPT) to accelerate development, improve code quality, and mentor teams on modern engineering workflows.
I thrive in roles that combine architecture, backend engineering, system design, and technical leadership. I’m comfortable driving cross‑functional collaboration, mentoring engineers, and delivering high‑quality software in fast‑paced environments.

Open to senior engineering, backend, C++ specialist, system design, and technical leadership roles where I can contribute to building scalable, high‑performance systems.
