Backend engineer building high-throughput distributed systems, real-time data pipelines, and infrastructure that scales — in Go and Rust.
Hi, I'm Sanket. I'm a backend engineer based in Pune, India with 4+ years of experience building production systems — primarily in Go and Rust.
I specialize in designing and building distributed backends, event-driven architectures, and real-time data pipelines. My day-to-day involves API gateways, microservices, Kafka pipelines, gRPC services, and async processing systems that handle high throughput at scale.
I've shipped systems across enterprise SaaS and healthcare — domains where downtime isn't an option and data consistency is non-negotiable. That pressure shaped how I think: every system I build is designed to be observable, fault-tolerant, and boring-reliable.
Outside of work, I build developer tools — caching proxies, file storage engines, zero-code API generators. I believe the best engineers are also toolmakers.

Production infrastructure demands fault-tolerant, real-time systems. This is the architecture pattern I work with daily — from client request to real-time delivery, with event-driven processing at every layer.
When you're moving critical data between distributed services, clever code is dangerous. I optimize for readability, predictability, and fault tolerance. The best systems are boring systems that never fail.
Go isn't just for web servers. Its concurrency model, simplicity, and compile-time guarantees make it ideal for building distributed infrastructure. It forces you to think about errors, and that's a feature.
The best investment an engineer can make is building tools that multiply the team's output. CacheGate, Byte Fortress, Quick Forge — each one eliminated hours of repetitive work.

Working in domains where data loss is unacceptable — enterprise SaaS, healthcare — forces you to think differently. You can't have eventual consistency where it matters. You can't lose messages. That pressure taught me to build systems that are honest about their state.
