Who I Am

Hi, I’m Shubham 👋.

I'm a backend and distributed systems engineer with about 4 years of experience building software that (mostly) doesn't crash. I care deeply about reliability, observability, and making complex systems understandable.

What I Work On

My work revolves around data-heavy systems and infrastructure. I prefer simple, boring architectures that are easy to debug over clever, complex ones that are "impressive" until they break at 3 AM. I believe developer experience is a feature, not an afterthought.

How I Think About Software

• Reliability First: If you can't trust it, it doesn't matter how fast it is.
• Observability: I want to know why it broke before the users do.
• Simplicity: Complexity is the enemy of maintenance.

Interests

When I step away from the terminal, you'll likely find me:

• 🚴‍♂️ Riding my bike
• 🏏 Watching cricket (and yelling at the TV)
• 🌌 Reading about space and physics
• 🎵 Listening to music
• 🥧 Tinkering with Raspberry Pis and home automation
