Senior Backend Engineer for teams that need backend systems to scale, stay reliable, and ship fast. I build production APIs, Kafka pipelines, platform tooling, and cloud-native services that reduce operational pain instead of creating more of it. Actively contributing to open source — real tools, real repos, real impact.

Open to Remote Roles

Actively looking — global companies welcome

If your team needs a backend engineer who can own production systems, reason about scale, and work reliably in a distributed setup, I'm ready to step in.

Why Hire Deepak
Strong backend ownership without the enterprise drag.

I'm most valuable in teams that want someone who can understand product needs quickly, design solid backend systems, and make pragmatic decisions under ambiguity. I work best where reliability matters, speed matters, and hand-holding does not.
