╚══════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════╝
Developer with deep expertise in ServiceNow platform engineering, Go backend systems, and a restless habit of pulling things apart to see how they work — from jq's parser internals to operating system kernels to event-driven microservices.
I build production tooling (MCP servers, MID server replacements, onboarding platforms), explore systems programming across C++/Rust/Zig, and benchmark everything I can get my hands on.
Location India
Languages Go, C++, C, Java, Python, JavaScript, Rust, Zig
Platforms ServiceNow, Docker, Kubernetes, Knative, Linux
Interests Protocol design, OS internals, load balancer architecture, caching systems
Currently MCP protocol servers, MIPT C++ coursework, multi-language algorithm benchmarking
