## About

Hey\! I'm Ankit, a Software Engineer at Paytm and CS graduate from BIT Mesra\. Over the past couple of years, I've worked through internships and now full\-time on backend systems, REST APIs, distributed systems, and production services\. At Paytm, I've built high\-scale backend APIs, implemented Prometheus\-based observability across Kafka and RabbitMQ consumers, improved data consistency using MongoDB and Cassandra, and worked on production reliability and media pipelines\. Before that, I interned at Simpl, Eternz, and Fleeter, where I worked on backend APIs, fraud detection, financial systems, automation tools, and deployment pipelines using technologies like Go, Node\.js, Ruby, PostgreSQL, MongoDB, AWS, and Jenkins\. Apart from work, I enjoy building projects that solve real problems\. I built Bitacademia, an academic management platform adopted by the Computer Science department at BIT Mesra, serving 500\+ students and faculty\. I also built CursorTalks, a voice\-driven AI coding assistant using LangChain, LangGraph, GPT\-4o, and MongoDB that supports multi\-step planning, code execution, and hands\-free interaction\. During college, I was involved with the Finance Club and the Fine Arts Society, where I worked on organizing events, managing logistics, and contributing to technical initiatives\. I'm primarily interested in backend engineering — building scalable APIs, distributed systems, and reliable infrastructure\. I'm also exploring AI systems and agentic workflows, and I enjoy working on products that solve practical problems\.
