@rishitpandey
Backend engineer specializing in scalable systems, APIs, and data-driven automation.
IndiaWhat I'm looking for
I am a backend engineer with 5+ years building scalable, high-performance systems and designing robust RESTful APIs. I focus on system efficiency, reliable database design, and pragmatic DevOps to deliver production-ready services.
As a founding engineer, I architected high-concurrency backends using Python and FastAPI, implemented DB migrations with Alembic and SQLAlchemy, and owned critical features like referral and affiliate systems to drive user growth.
I have applied AI and data engineering to real-world problems — building LLM-driven pipelines and analytics tools that recovered $150K+ in unpaid royalties and parsed thousands of music statements with high precision.
I lead small engineering teams, manage cloud infrastructure on AWS and Azure, and create internal analytics and auditing tools that support legal and operational needs. I seek roles where I can build reliable systems, mentor engineers, and deliver measurable business impact.
