Final-year CS student and backend developer with a systems-programming leaning. I like working with backend systems, More than that I am eager to learn from anyone. Apart from my coursework I have worked on - crawlers, TUIs and rate-limited APIs.
Open source / recent work:
Contributing to the Linux kernel - submitted patches to drivers/staging/rtl8723bs/ (checkpatch cleanups), currently working through review feedback with the maintainers.
Built web_weaver, an async Rust web crawler from scratch: tokio-based concurrency, per-domain rate limiting, robots.txt compliance, SQLite + FTS5 storage, crawl resumption via a persistent queue. First of a planned three-part research/search tool.
Comfortable across the backend stack: Go and Rust for services, Postgres/Mongo for storage, some exposure to Elixir and Zig.
Based in India (IST), but can shift my hours to get a solid 3-4hr overlap with EU or US mornings - happy to discuss specifics.
Looking for a remote backend or systems-adjacent role at an established company or a startup with real funding/traction/team - not a pre-idea-stage solo founder project or a "let's see if this works" 3-month gig. Open to relocating for the right role if the company is based in India. Happy to do a proper interview process; if you're reaching out, a link to your company/product and team size is appreciated so we can both save time.
