01About

Building backends
that scale.

I'm a backend engineer based in Jaipur, India — specializing in Python, FastAPI, and PostgreSQL. Since 2025 I've been shipping production-oriented systems: real-time messaging backends, authentication services, multi-tenant APIs, and scheduling systems.

My approach: security-first, performance-obsessed, documentation-aware. Every project applies OWASP standards, optimized schemas, and Docker CI/CD from day one.

Currently deepening Node.js, contributing to open source in the FastAPI ecosystem, and building in public. Open to remote backend opportunities globally.
