Backend engineer building high-throughput, real-time systems at startup speed. Currently SDE2 at Blinkit, working on checkout systems and search/RAG for a platform serving millions of daily users. Previously built subscription and loyalty systems at Zomato.
I work mostly in Golang, Python, and JavaScript, with backend depth in distributed systems, event-driven architecture (Kafka), and — more recently — LLM/RAG-based search. Comfortable across the stack (React, Node.js, Django) but backend and systems design is where I spend most of my time.
Always happy to connect on backend engineering, distributed systems, or applied LLM work.
Best, Piyush
