IndiaWhat I'm looking for
As a Lead Software Engineer with 8+ years in the industry, my core focus is on building highly scalable backend architectures and event-driven microservices. I thrive in environments that require robust data pipelines and distributed system design, heavily utilizing Go, Node.js, PostgreSQL, and RabbitMQ, kafka.
I am constantly looking for ways to improve developer workflows and system efficiency, which has recently led me to dive deep into RAG architectures, AI agents, and AST parsing. Whether I'm building backend services, exploring AI integrations, or vlogging about development workflows on DeVxLog, I care deeply about writing clean, maintainable, and high-performing code.
