JITESH SINGH SHEKHAWAT

I’m a backend-focused Software Engineer and final-year CS student with hands-on experience building scalable GraphQL and REST APIs in production. I enjoy turning complex requirements into well-structured services using system design, caching, and clean API design.

In my Backend Engineering Intern role at Teachers Tool Pvt Ltd (Toddle), I’ve built and optimized backend microservices for Toddle’s LMS used by educators across 2,500+ schools and districts worldwide. I cut average API response times and reduced payload sizes on high-traffic endpoints, and I developed Roles & Permissions and Module Settings for a super-admin panel. I also implemented RBAC with an Activity Log to audit administrative actions, strengthening security and traceability.

My problem-solving background supports my engineering approach: I’ve solved 1900+ DSA problems (950+ on LeetCode) and earned a 5-star rating in Algorithms and C++ on HackerRank. I also qualified for and participated in ICPC Regionals (Chennai & Amritapuri sites), securing All India Rank 180 in the Preliminary round.

I bring real-time engineering energy through projects like a Metaverse Multiplayer Room and a Multiplayer Chess Game using React, Node.js, Socket.IO, and WebRTC. I focus on synchronized state, low-latency event handling, and thorough logic—whether it’s WebSockets movement updates or move validation and check/checkmate detection—backed by peer code reviews in an Agile workflow.
