Hi, my name is
Atharva Muley.
I build data platforms that move billions of records.
A little about me
I’m a software engineer focused on data platforms and backend systems: the layer that quietly moves billions of records around and keeps everything else honest. I’ve been at Circle since 2021, where I work on blockchain ingestion, observability, and the pipelines that keep USDC reconciliation accurate.
Before Circle, I did a Master’s at UMBC where my thesis was on explainable-AI for lung-cancer CT scans, and a stint at LibraX building ML-backed ID verification.
Most days I’m writing Python or Java, drawing boxes-and-arrows on a whiteboard, or arguing with Kubernetes. Off-hours, usually cooking, traveling, or chasing a side project that may or may not ever ship.

Where I’ve worked
Jan 2023 - PresentRemote
Software Engineer II
Circle Internet FinancialBuilding the data infrastructure that powers blockchain ingestion at Circle. Shipped a multi-threaded ingestion framework, OpenTelemetry/Datadog observability, a custom Cosmos client for USDC reconciliation, and a refactor of the RDS pipeline that pushed data availability to 99%. Mentor junior engineers through weekly technology deep dives.

Machine Learning Engineer Intern
LibraX.ai
Designed and shipped LibraX's ID-verification API in a month: a Flask service blending ML and fuzzy logic on Azure (API Management, Containers, Key Vaults, Table & Blob storage). Optimized the fuzzy search path for low latency and integrated Auth0 for custom JWT tokens.
