HI There! I'M DAKSHIN
I AM A SOFTWARE ENGINEER DEVELOPER

Welcome to my little corner of the internet. I love building scalable systems, wrangling Kafka pipelines, optimizing databases and making distributed services behave nicely (well… most of the time — they can be dramatic). Here, I share my journey, projects, blog posts and a way to connect if you want to chat, collaborate, or hire me to optimize your backend like a boss.

ABOUT ME

I’m a backend engineer who enjoys building systems that handle millions of events with speed and reliability. Over the past 5+ years, I’ve designed and scaled write-heavy, latency-sensitive architectures — tuning databases, setting up streaming pipelines and optimizing search flows to meet real-world demands.

I’ve worked with teams at Goldman Sachs, Plivo, and Zoho, building event-driven services, fine-tuning PostgreSQL and MongoDB, and deploying infrastructure with Docker, Kubernetes, and AWS.

Curious and quick to adapt, I thrive on exploring new tech and solving complex backend challenges. Recently, I’ve been diving into Applied AI — integrating LLMs and Agentic AI into business workflows where scale meets intelligence.
