Hello there —

I build backends that stay calm under load.

I'm Hitesh, a backend engineer in Pune with around five years of building APIs, services and infrastructure — mostly Python and Go, with enough frontend instinct to care how the whole thing feels to use.

Open to new work See what I've built →

Right now

A snapshot of the current chapter.

Building
A multi-lender fintech platform

Loan origination and underwriting across multiple lenders — microservices, Django, React, AWS.

Exploring
Developer tooling

A lighter meta-framework, a contract-verification CLI, and a few editor extensions that scratch my own itches.

Learning
Where SDE meets SRE

The overlap between writing services and keeping them alive is the part I find most interesting lately.

Away from the screen
Books, long rides, quiet rooms

Reading at night, riding without a destination, and keeping the setup as minimal as it'll let me.
