Ashish Kumar

I am a backend-focused software engineer experienced in building REST APIs, designing SQL data models, and deploying applications on cloud platforms. I specialize in Node.js and Next.js while also working with TypeScript and Python.

In my most recent role I built 25+ REST APIs, designed optimized MySQL/Prisma schemas that improved query performance by 30%, and managed GCP staging deployments with a 99% success rate. I automated payment workflows via Razorpay and implemented observability with Grafana, Prometheus, and Loki to reduce debugging time.

I have built end-to-end products including a multi-framework deployment platform with per-project EC2 provisioning, real-time log streaming, a motorsport media platform with 600+ weekly unique visitors, and an e-commerce app with Stripe payments and Docker-based deployment. I focus on pragmatic, performance-minded engineering and operational reliability.

I hold a B.Tech in Computer Science and Engineering and AWS certifications (Solutions Architect - Associate, Cloud Practitioner). I am motivated to keep learning and to contribute to reliable, scalable backend systems in a collaborative team.
