Backend Engineer | Go & Python/Django | REST APIs, Microservices, gRPC | SQL/BigQuery | SDE 1 @ AgroStar

About

Backend engineer with 2 years of experience building and scaling services in Go and Python/Django, currently at AgroStar in Pune. I work across the backend stack - designing microservices in Go, building REST APIs, writing SQL against PostgreSQL/MySQL/BigQuery, and shipping features end-to-end with unit testing baked into the development lifecycle. Recent work has included architecting distributed backend microservices for core business systems, optimizing large-scale analytics queries against BigQuery, and partnering with cross-functional teams to design and document APIs that ease onboarding and speed up cross-team engineering work. Outside of my day job, I've built a real-time multiplayer backend in Go (PostgreSQL-backed leaderboard, unit-tested game logic under concurrent play) and a gRPC-based chat application in Python/Django with MySQL. I also co-authored a paper on early detection of DDoS attacks in networks, published at IEEE LCN 2023. I'm looking for backend / backend-heavy full-stack roles where I can keep deepening my distributed systems and API design experience - open to opportunities in Pune or Hyderabad. Core stack: Go, Python, Django, REST APIs, Microservices, gRPC, SQL (PostgreSQL/MySQL/BigQuery), Docker, Git, Unit Testing, System Design.
