About Me
I'm a Backend Engineer based in India, currently building scalable systems at HSV Digital. I graduated from NIT Hamirpur and cleared GATE 2026 in Computer Science.
I specialize in distributed systems and high-performance backends. My work spans from engineering Go/Python microservices handling millions of daily requests to building multi-tenant platforms with complex authorization systems.
Outside of work, I contribute to open source — including Microsoft's DeepSpeed — and compete in algorithmic programming (LeetCode Top 6.5%, CodeChef Top 1%).

Kind Words
“I was Rakshit's manager during his 6 month internship period at Wayground. Rakshit is a diligent, hardworking and sharp coder and has a good grasp of backend as well as frontend. He is a quick learner and is already as good as someone with a couple of years of work experience. Any team would be lucky to have him.”
