BACKENDDEVELOPER
INFRASTRUCTURE & SYSTEMS
OPEN TO WORK
✳Based in Trivandrum, India
I architect backendsystems that scaleunder pressure.
Focused on building backend systems that work end-to-end — API design, database architecture, and authentication, with a growing focus on the infrastructure layer: caching, deployment, and system design. I work across the full stack of a backend project, from schema design through containerized deployment, and I'm currently deepening my understanding of scalability and distributed systems through formal study.
Selected Work
01 / 03
Most URL shortener tutorials stop at "generate a short code and redirect." I wanted to understand what changes once you add real concerns: user accounts, auth, caching, rate limiting, and analytics on top of that basic flow.
