About

Backend engineer who loves building scalable systems and solving complex problems. Currently crafting Go-based microservices at Blinkit, where I work on the supply chain platform that helps deliver groceries to millions of customers. I thrive on creating efficient distributed systems and have evolved from my Java/Python roots to becoming a Golang enthusiast. My journey includes building Android apps, experimenting with IoT projects, and diving deep into the world of containerized architectures. What gets me excited? Designing systems that just work - whether it's handling traffic spikes, optimizing database queries, or making microservices talk to each other seamlessly. I'm particularly interested in how technology can solve real-world logistics challenges. Tech I work with: • Daily drivers: Golang, Python, FastAPI, Java, distributed systems, MySql, Postgres • Previous experience: Python Django, Kotlin, Android development, IoT Arduino Raspberry Pi • Also comfortable with: C++, JavaScript, MySQL • Infra: Docker, Kubernetes, AWS, Kafka Always up for interesting technical discussions and exploring new technologies. If you're working on challenging engineering problems, let's connect!
