Software Engineer

## About

I’m a software engineer with experience building scalable, performance\-focused web applications, with a strong emphasis on backend systems, architecture, and reliability\. My work has primarily involved designing and building APIs, data models, and distributed services that power production applications used by real users\. I’ve worked across modern backend and frontend stacks, most notably with Python, Django, and modern JavaScript\(React, Nextjs, Astro\), along with cloud infrastructure and containerized deployments\. Over the years, I’ve owned both greenfield products and large existing codebases, handling everything from system design and implementation to deployment, monitoring, and iterative improvements based on real\-world usage\. I enjoy untangling complex systems, improving performance, and reducing operational friction for both users and engineering teams\. I like being the engineer who can dive deep into debugging complex issues, collaborate closely with product and stakeholders, and mentor other developers, while staying pragmatic about trade\-offs and business impact\. My approach is simple: understand the problem deeply, design for clarity and reliability, and optimize where it actually matters\. You can see some of my work here: Portfolio and projects: https://ankitjang\.one/ GitHub: https://github\.com/jangwanAnkit Technical writing / blog: https://ankitjang\.one/case\-studies/ https://ankitjang\.one/blog/ I’m always open to conversations around backend systems, performance engineering, AI\-assisted products, and thoughtfully built SaaS applications\.
