intro

💡 “Backend Engineer | Golang Enthusiast | Scalable Systems Builder”


Hi, I’m Harshith — a backend engineer with 4+ years of experience building reliable, high-throughput systems. I’ve led mission-critical backend operations for Jio KYC at Jukshio, handling 300+ TPS and 5M+ daily writes across 10+ customers. I specialize in Golang, distributed systems, microservices, and production-grade backend architecture.

From migrating monoliths to gRPC services, to implementing AES/RSA encryption, GPU-based optimizations, and fraud detection pipelines — I take pride in solving problems end-to-end with clean, scalable solutions.

I’m currently pursuing my M.Tech in Computer Science at IIT Patna, while actively looking for roles where I can make an impact.

I’m not just pursuing a career in Go backend development — I’m genuinely passionate about backend architecture, learning emerging technologies, and staying up to date through hands-on experimentation. While I haven’t contributed to open-source yet, I actively learn from it and aim to start contributing as part of my growth journey.

🎯 Open to:

  • Backend Engineer (Golang preferred)
  • Distributed Systems / Platform Engineer
  • SRE / Infrastructure Engineer
  • Tech-Lead / Senior Engineer roles in fast-growing teams
  • MAANG / High-growth startups solving deep technical problems

I’m passionate about clean system design, performance optimization, and building infrastructure that scales. Let’s build something world-class.

Projects


🧱

Monolith to Microservices Migration

Led migration of a legacy monolithic backend to scalable microservices using Golang, gRPC, and Docker. Achieved 30% faster response time and modular scalability across KYC services.

🔐

End-to-End Encryption System

Designed AES-256 + RSA encryption layer with validation and image integrity checks to protect sensitive KYC data across all stages of processing.

🧑‍💼

Facial Signature-Based Authorization

Integrated Bayun SDK to enable secure facial signature authentication and role-based authorization, enhancing access control.

🚨

Fraud Detection Pipeline

Built a real-time fraud detection system using anomaly signals and behavioral analysis, reducing KYC fraud by 20%.

📹

GPU-Accelerated Video Processor

Engineered a high-speed video processing server for Self-KYC, improving video processing throughput by 40% under peak load.

🧠

ML Model Optimization & Integration

Integrated ML models for facial/doc analysis into production and optimized them for GPU, reducing inference latency and cloud compute cost by 30%.

🗃️

GCP to Azure Infra Migration

Led 90-day storage and PostgreSQL DB migration from GCP to Azure with zero downtime and optimized cloud usage.

⚙️

CI/CD & Branching Strategy

Designed Git-based CI/CD strategy with simulation tests, branching policies, and deployment validation pipelines.

🧪

Test Automation & Load Validation

Built automation pipelines using Go’s gotest, achieved 80%+ coverage, and performed load validation for high TPS readiness.

🧍

Customer Onboarding Platform

Developed a scalable onboarding framework to launch 5+ enterprise clients from scratch to production, including infra setup and RCA playbooks.
