i'm aashish, a 22yo cse grad (sep '20), from uttarakhand, currently in pune. i build web products and the infrastructure underneath them.
most of my time goes to backend and devops: designing apis, wiring up databases, and making deploys uneventful. i contribute to open source and read more production post-mortems than i probably should.
i care about the boring parts: error budgets, reproducible builds, the gap between "works on my machine" and "works at 3am". confident through restraint, monochrome by choice.

Selected systems
flagship builds, traced end to end: the problem, the shape of the system, the stack, and what it actually does in production.
Multiple users editing the same document at once will clobber each other's writes. Last-write-wins loses data, and naive locking kills the live, in-the-room feel that collaboration is supposed to have.
A WebSocket layer fans changes out to every connected client, while a conflict-free merge strategy reconciles concurrent edits before they're committed. Postgres (via Prisma) is the durable source of truth; the socket tier stays stateless so sessions can scale horizontally without sticky routing.

Civic issues like broken lights, potholes and unsafe spots get reported into the void. Without a structured pipeline from sighting to resolution, reports pile up with no owner, no status, and no feedback loop back to the people who filed them.
A full-stack pipeline takes a geotagged report, persists it, and moves it through a lifecycle of states. A REST API backs the submission and status surfaces; the data model keeps each report auditable from first sighting to closed, so nothing silently disappears.

Learning content is easy to publish and hard to make stick. A flat list of resources gives no sense of progress, no structure to follow, and no reason to come back tomorrow.
A full-stack rebuild organises content into structured paths with progress tracking, served by a clean API and a responsive client. The second iteration tightened the data model and the delivery surface so the experience holds up as the catalogue grows.
