👋 Hi, I’m Karishma - Senior Software Engineer 👩🏻💻
🌱 I’m starting a learn-in-public journey focused on building strong fundamentals in DSA & System Design.
🚀 Starting Jan 1, 2026 - DSA & System Design Journey
From Day 1 of 2026, I’ll share content to help you learn DSA and System Design step by step, from basics to advanced concepts.
📌 Plan
• First few months → DSA (basics → advanced)
• Then → Low-Level Design (LLD) & High-Level Design (HLD)
• Simple concepts first, gradually moving to modular & advanced topics
📝 How it’ll work
• 1 topic = 1 post
• Clear & simple explanations
• Practice questions with every topic
🤝 I’ll need your support
Your feedback will help me improve future posts and stay motivated.
If you find this useful, please share it with students & peers so we can learn and grow together.

Backend Engineering Is Changing - AI Is Now Part of the Stack 🧱
AI is no longer something you “integrate” into backend systems. It’s becoming part of the backend architecture itself.
For a long time, backend engineering was about APIs, databases, queues, and scaling reliable systems. That hasn’t changed, but the systems we’re building now are different.
They are:
• AI driven
• Data heavy
• Less deterministic, more adaptive
In my latest Substack post, I break down:
• Why AI architecture is becoming essential for backend engineers
• How it extends (not replaces) core backend principles
• What changes in system design, scalability, and data handling

Why UPI Transactions Feel Instant - But Aren’t ⚠️
💳 Ever noticed this in UPI transactions?
Today, a friend sent me some money. The transaction immediately appeared in my UPI app’s history - but my account balance wasn’t updated even after a few hours.
This reminded me of a similar experience from a few months ago.
I paid my house rent via UPI. The transaction showed as successful, yet the debit was reflected in my bank balance later.
So what’s actually happening behind the scenes? 🤔
