ROHIT_KUMAR_ROY > BUILDING_RELIABLE_BACKENDS
Backend engineer with a bias toward reliability. I write Go, design APIs that don't surprise you, and build systems I'd actually want to debug. 3rd year CS at TMSL, Kolkata.
Backend in Go. I've built things that needed to be fast, things that needed to be correct, and one or two things that needed to be both. I prefer explicit over clever, and I'd rather have useful logs than a clean abstraction that hides what's happening.

This is the strongest signal in my portfolio: the backend stack I actively use to ship reliable products, from protocol contracts to runtime observability.
Go-first services with gRPC and Protobuf interfaces, PostgreSQL and Redis data paths, Linux and Docker deployment, and Prometheus-led health tracking for stable production behavior.
Backend Core
- Microservices with clear service boundaries and domain ownership.
- gRPC and Protobuf interfaces with deterministic contracts.
- REST support where external integration calls for it.
Data and Runtime
- PostgreSQL and MySQL schema design tuned for query efficiency.
- Redis for low-latency state, cache layers, and pub/sub patterns.
- Concurrency-safe implementation patterns in Go.
Delivery and Quality
- Docker-based local and production parity.
- Linux-first deployment and debugging workflows.
- Prometheus metrics, testing, and benchmarking loops.

Project Log
Zaraba
Crypto exchange application with realtime trading, order matching, and wallet systems.
Designed as a gRPC-first architecture splitting API, trading core, and market/wallet services. Added fixed-point arithmetic to avoid floating-point drift in financial execution paths.
Thesis: deterministic execution over noisy realtime input.
CipherBin
Sept 2025
Ephemeral code-sharing service where snippets auto-expire after a set time.
Implemented secure session auth, input sanitization, and prepared statements with a modular PostgreSQL design using clean architecture boundaries.
Thesis: secure defaults make speed sustainable.

Sentinel-Proxy
Mar 2026
Reverse proxy that monitors outgoing traffic to detect suspicious data transfer in realtime.
Uses a streaming inspection pipeline and Redis-backed behavior tracking with adaptive thresholds to reduce false positives while preserving detection sensitivity.
Thesis: observe behavior, not just packets.

Flipkart Price Tracker
Mar 2025 - Jun 2025
Scrapy-based deal tracker that scans Flipkart listings, validates price history, and sends Telegram alerts for strong discounts.
Built with Python + Scrapy using configurable search terms, multi-layout selectors, retry/rate-limit settings, PriceHistory.app verification, and dotenv-based Telegram credentials.
Thesis: signal quality over noisy price drops.
