Naga Tharun Makkena

Software Engineer — backend systems, .NET

I build event-driven calculation engines and the systems around them. Currently shipping financial software at insightsoftware.

01 / About

I'm a software engineer at insightsoftware in Hyderabad, where I design and ship backend systems for equity compensation — event-driven calculation engines, taxation and reporting pipelines, and access control. I joined as an intern and moved to owning systems from PRD to production within my first year.

My day-to-day stack is C# and .NET on SQL, with a strong bias toward event-driven design and parameter-driven data work. Before this I worked on core banking at Oracle Financial Services, which is where I learned to respect a well-written stored procedure.

Outside work I build things to scratch my own itches — most recently an iOS expense-splitting app in Swift, and a websocket trivia game that generates its questions with an LLM.

03 / Work

ExpenseDiary

An iOS expense-splitting app I'm building in Swift (MVVM + CoreData). Supports groups, equal/percentage/custom splits, settlements, and full transaction history. Siri Shortcuts integration in progress for voice-driven entries. Built because splitting expenses on existing apps annoyed me.

What was hard: CoreData relationships for group settlements with split-type flexibility.

Unagi

A Friends-themed trivia game with single-player and real-time multiplayer. Room-based session management over WebSockets (Socket.io); questions generated on-demand via OpenAI's GPT API instead of a static bank.

What was hard: keeping room state consistent across disconnects while OpenAI latency varied.

auction-backend

Backend API for a student-focused auction platform. Handles bidding logic, authentication flows, and real-time auction state management.

What was hard: race conditions in concurrent bid submissions under load.

Stocks-Visualizer

A C# desktop application for visualising stock market data with interactive charts, trend analysis, and historical price exploration.

What was hard: efficient charting of large OHLC datasets without blocking the UI thread.
