Hi everyone 👋

I’m currently exploring new Senior Backend / Platform Engineering opportunities. If you know of a role that could be a fit, I’d really appreciate an introduction or quick chat (DMs are open).

A little about me:

6+ years building scalable backend systems across Zenarate, Delhivery, and GoMechanic

Designed and led development of authorization systems (RBAC/ReBAC), event-driven architectures, and multi-tenant SaaS infrastructure serving 700k+ users

Strong experience with FastAPI, Kafka, AWS, PostgreSQL, Redis, ClickHouse, and distributed backend systems

Architected a real-time stock analytics platform processing live market data for 13,000+ symbols with ClickHouse designed for billion-scale time-series analytics

Led backend teams across architecture, code reviews, production rollout, CI/CD, and platform scalability initiatives

Experienced working across remote teams and async collaboration environments

I’m open to:
• Remote worldwide opportunities
• Europe/Germany onsite roles
• Full-time & contract positions
Interested in:
Backend Platform Engineering • Distributed Systems • Authorization Infrastructure • Event-Driven Systems

Start preparing your resume devs 🤠

The AI hype collapse is going to be insanely painful for everyone.

Brutal times ahead.

[Ravi shankar vats @ravisvats]

A monolith is often ill-suited for a system serving multiple use cases. At the same time, maintaining dozens of microservices as a solo developer is equally challenging. What to do ?

Built authentication with AWS Cognito on https://t.co/8GQG5EYR3w.

One account. Multiple apps.

✅ StudyPlan
✅ Tweet-to-Reel

Coming next:
🎬 Reel & Shorts generation
📚 Pomodoro timer
🎯 Goal tracking
🏅 Achievement badges

Sign-in is the foundation. Persistence and progress are what make products useful.
More updates this week.

[Ravi shankar vats @ravisvats]

Quick updates on https://t.co/8GQG5EZoT4 — three small things shipped this week:

1) StudyPlan
A Pomodoro timer I built because every other one I tried either had ads, required signup, or didn't have proper keyboard shortcuts. This one is keyboard-driven (SPACE / ALT+P/S/L/R), three modes, WebAudio chime, desktop notifications, settings + session log persisted in localStorage. No backend, no signup, no analytics. Open the page, focus.

2) AuthService
Pulled all my authorization work — ReBAC vs RBAC vs ABAC, migration playbook, architecture diagrams — into one navigable hub. If you're sitting on a legacy role table and trying to figure out how to move to relationship-based access without breaking production, this is where I'd start a conversation.

3) Tweet-to-Reel
Currently for my own use, going public in a few days. The flow is dead simple: sign up, drop an image, pick a sound, and the pipeline produces a short-form video ready for Instagram Reels / YouTube Shorts. The whole point is so I don't have to touch FFmpeg or the Instagram Graph API every time I want to repurpose an idea.

If any of these solve a problem you have — or if you've done a real ReBAC migration and want to compare notes — DMs are open.

Anybody else confused between Jitesh Sharma and Dhruv jurel 🙄😅

[Sam Altman @sama]

Let yourself occasionally get a little screwed in exchange for not having to live with your guard up all the time. It’s worth it.

[Ravi shankar vats @ravisvats]

Of all the skills I have learned over the years, ignoring and moving on tops the list 😀.

I don’t know how many times it has saved me from unnecessary stress, pointless arguments, and wasting energy on things that were never worth my time.

[Andrej Karpathy @karpathy]

Wow, this tweet went very viral!

I wanted share a possibly slightly improved version of the tweet in an "idea file". The idea of the idea file is that in this era of LLM agents, there is less of a point/need of sharing the specific code/app, you just share the idea, then the other person's agent customizes & builds it for your specific needs.

So here's the idea in a gist format: https://t.co/NlAfEJjtJV

You can give this to your agent and it can build you your own LLM wiki and guide you on how to use it etc. It's intentionally kept a little bit abstract/vague because there are so many directions to take this in. And ofc, people can adjust the idea or contribute their own in the Discussion which is cool.

Let’s make a companies list which have been laying off, always keep them as a second option when you have offers, let’s hit them back 🤫

Have not touched Chrome since I have started with atlas.

We should always give efforts to learn new AI tools.

Wild story shared by a user about his uncle.
AI can be really helpful sometimes.

Credit : Reddit
---
My 62-year-old uncle in India:
Kidney failure (on dialysis 3x/week)
Diabetes
Hypertension
Stroke 6 years ago
Severe migraines ONLY when lying down to sleep

Doctors tried: neurologists, nephrologists, brain MRI, blood thinners. Nobody could explain the positional headache pattern.

I brought everything to Claude. Over several days:

Claude identified the key clue everyone missed, the headaches are positional (lying down triggers them)

Pulled research showing 40-57% of dialysis patients have undiagnosed sleep apnea

Read his brain MRI report I uploaded, flagged relevant findings other docs overlooked

Asked about snoring. Answer: loud snoring for 25 YEARS. Daily afternoon sleeping for 25 YEARS.

Calculated STOP-BANG score: 6-7/8 (very high risk)

Created a complete consultation brief for the pulmonologist

Translated a home care plan into Gujarati (my native language) for family

We got the sleep study done.

Results were alarming:
→ Breathing stops 119 times per night
→ Oxygen drops to 78% (dangerously low)
→ 47 oxygen desaturations per hour
→ 28 minutes per night below safe oxygen level

We put him on CPAP. Headaches gone.

25 years of loud snoring and daily exhaustion. Every doctor attributed it to "dialysis fatigue" or "age." It was sleep apnea the entire time, potentially causing his hypertension, contributing to his stroke, and definitely causing his headaches.

The sleep apnea had been hiding in plain sight for 25 years, in his snoring that our family joked about, in his afternoon naps we thought were normal.

Claude didn't just identify the problem. It created a structured diagnostic roadmap, explained which specialist to see first, what tests to request, what questions to ask, picked the right CPAP machine, explained every setting, and even wrote maintenance instructions in Gujarati (my native language).

A ₹30,000 CPAP machine solved what years of specialist visits couldn't.

AI didn't replace his doctors. But it connected dots across nephrology, neurology, pulmonology, and ENT that no single specialist was doing.
