About Me
I'm a Software Engineer based in India, currently building scalable systems at HSV Digital. I graduated from NIT Hamirpur and cleared GATE 2026 in Computer Science.
I mostly work on distributed systems and high-performance backends. Some of that has been Go and Python microservices taking millions of requests a day. More recently it's multi-tenant platforms, where the authorization rules get complicated fast.
Outside of work, I contribute to open source, including Microsoft's DeepSpeed, and compete in algorithmic programming (LeetCode Top 6.5%).

What I actually believe
I trust systems more than ones that just pass on paper, and I'd rather ship something than fast and wrong. When the same bug shows up in five call sites, I , because . I'd take over clever code any day, and I don't trust a benchmark until I've . I design for , because a system that falls over gracefully under load beats one that's merely fast until it isn't. I don't let an LLM , and I've learned the hard way that . None of this came from a textbook. It came from and then watching what actually broke in front of real traffic.

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.”
