Software Engineer II @ Wayground \(Quizizz\) \| Distributed Systems · Real\-Time Infra · AI Products \| Go · Node\.js · TypeScript · AWS \| Scaling platforms to millions of users

## About

I build backend systems that stay fast and reliable when the load gets ugly\. 🚀 5 years at Wayground \(Quizizz\) working on the hard, high\-scale problems — real\-time infrastructure serving 200K\+ concurrent users, event\-driven pipelines, and 80B\-record data migrations that run with zero downtime\. Lately I've been building at the frontier of AI products: leading backend architecture for conversational AI and taking a new AI product from 0 → 1 alongside the founder\. Beyond the code, I care about the people who write it — I've mentored engineers, run 100\+ technical interviews, and helped grow a team from 10 to 80\+ without dropping the bar\. Distributed systems, thoughtful architecture, and shipping things that last\. Go · Node\.js · TypeScript · AWS 📫 prashantsingh3553@gmail\.com · 🌐 pxnt\.dev
