Vinit Kumar

Principal Engineer building backend systems, developer tools, and open source software.

Blog • LinkedIn • Twitter • Email

I work on high-scale backend platforms and the tooling around them: APIs, databases, automation, and developer experience. I enjoy taking systems from "works in staging" to reliable, observable, and fast in production.

Featured Work

  • json2xml
    A JSON-to-XML converter for Python with a native Rust extension that significantly improved performance.

  • chatbot
    A compact chatbot experiment built with C and Zig, exploring systems-level implementation choices.

  • node-twitter
    A Twitter clone built with Node.js and TypeScript, useful as a full-stack architecture reference project.

What I Focus On

  • Backend architecture for products operating at meaningful scale
  • Performance work across Python, Rust, Go, and TypeScript
  • Developer tools, editors, and workflow automation
  • Open source projects that are small, practical, and well-documented
