Backend engineer in the making. I like systems that have to actually work.
I spend most of my time building things that live behind the UI - APIs, services, data pipelines, proxies, and the occasional system that has no business being as complicated as I made it.
Lately, I've been especially interested in Go, distributed systems, networking, concurrency, databases, and backend architecture.
I learn best by building, breaking, profiling, and rebuilding things.
The fastest system is often the one doing less work.
Concurrency gets interesting when you stop thinking only about threads and start thinking about shared state.
You understand a system much better once you've had to debug one of its failure modes.

I'm pursuing a B.Tech in Computer Science & Engineering at Techno Main Salt Lake, Kolkata.
Outside of programming, I spend some of my time studying and trading forex. I enjoy the analytical side of it - understanding market behaviour, testing ideas, and thinking about risk and probabilities.
I also do competitive programming from time to time, mostly because solving a problem in an empty editor is a nice change of pace from debugging one in a real codebase.
