• 🔭 Currently architecting distributed, fault-tolerant systems with a focus on rigorous requirements analysis and capacity estimation before writing a single line of code.
• 🌱 Diving deep into Backend Engineering, DevOps, and Cloud-Native patterns — caching, queues, sharding, observability.
• 💬 Ask me about system design trade-offs, API design, CI/CD pipelines, or competitive programming.
• ⚡ Fun fact: I treat every project like a mini production system — load tests, monitoring, and a runbook included.

400+ DSA problems solved across the major judges. I treat CP as a daily gym session for algorithmic thinking.

📈 Contribution Graph

• Backend Engineering — designing APIs that don't fall over at 10× traffic.
• Distributed Systems — consistency models, leader election, replication, sharding.
• System Design — every project starts with a one-pager: requirements → bottlenecks → capacity estimates → component diagram → trade-offs.
• DevOps Mindset — containerize early, monitor everything, automate the boring parts.
• Cloud-Native — AWS / GCP / Azure primitives, IaC, and serverless patterns.
