Mukesh Iyer

Backend Developer at Validus.sg

I am a Backend Developer at Validus, a leading Fintech platform in Singapore, where I specialize in building robust, scalable, and secure backend systems. My day-to-day responsibilities include designing APIs, enhancing application performance, and ensuring seamless integration with complex financial ecosystems. I thrive on solving intricate technical challenges and delivering reliable solutions that drive business value.

Currently, I am also pursuing a Master’s in Financial Technology at the University of Wollongong (UOW), Gift City Campus, India. This program allows me to dive deep into the intersection of technology and finance, exploring areas like blockchain, digital payments, AI in finance, and financial modeling. It’s a perfect complement to my professional experience, providing me with a comprehensive understanding of the financial domain and its evolving technological landscape.

Over the years, I’ve developed expertise in backend technologies, including Java, Spring Boot, and RESTful services. My experience also extends to working with databases, cloud infrastructure, and DevOps practices, ensuring that the solutions I create are both efficient and future-proof.

I’m passionate about innovation and continuously strive to expand my skill set. Staying updated with industry trends is a priority for me, whether it’s by exploring emerging technologies or participating in discussions within the tech community. Outside of work and academics, I enjoy contributing to open-source projects and experimenting with new tools to refine my craft.

With a vision to create impactful and transformative solutions in the fintech space, I am committed to leveraging my technical expertise and financial knowledge to shape the future of financial services.

The eChai Effect - In Their Words

"The eChai platform has been super valuable for me - it has helped me gain a deeper understanding of domains in the startup and tech ecosystem. What stands out most is the celebration of knowledge, professional growth, and entrepreneurship - it’s one of the best for the Indian ecosystem. Along the way, I’ve also been fortunate to make some great friendships and connections too."

"After moving back from the USA, eChai became my go-to space to learn how the Indian startup ecosystem works. It offered direct exposure to startup thinking and a community that openly shares business insights. What stood out was how easy it was to connect, learn, and grow through real conversations. As we built our IT hardware rentals business, eChai helped us find our niche and refine our path. Proud and grateful to be part of this amazing community."

“You don’t plan to build a company via eChai. You just keep showing up … and one day, you realize you did.” I’ve known Jatin since 2012, when I was still deciding what kind of second innings I wanted to play as an entrepreneur. Over the years, through events, chai breaks, intros, and seemingly small conversations, eChai helped shape not just Upsquare but also refined the lens through which we see collaboration. At Upsquare, we’ve hired talent, met partners, discovered co-investors, and built lifelong friendships. One of our joint ventures exists today only because a casual eChai memory sparked a deeper trust. Now, as we build House of Starts — our venture builder — eChai continues to fuel our mission: co-creating a shared future. eChai isn’t just a startup network. It’s a trust network. And for business builders like me, that makes all the difference."
