Currently building and breaking backend systems that need to survive real traffic.
Open to Backend / Platform / Distributed Systems roles (2026)
Final-year B.Tech (ECE) student at NIT Hamirpur focused on backend engineering and distributed systems.
I work on:
- real-time systems
- AI-driven backend pipelines
- scalable APIs and data layers
- cloud-deployed services with production constraints
I care less about demos and more about systems that don’t fall apart under load.
- Real-time systems using WebSockets, pub/sub, and event-driven architectures
- AI document and NLP pipelines with parallel workers and async processing
- Backend infrastructure with caching, queues, and persistence layers
- Cloud-native deployments on GCP and AWS
- Full-stack development where backend correctness comes first

Backend-first engineer.
I optimize for correctness, scale, and systems that fail predictably.
