Backend and cloud developer in Ahmedabad, India

#What I do

I'm a backend and cloud engineer with 3+ years of work on real, live systems. I care most about the part users never see: the servers, databases, queues and pipelines that keep an app fast and up.

Here's what you can hire me for:

• AWS infrastructure with Terraform. I write the whole AWS setup as code: network, databases, APIs, edge and security. Every change is reviewed and repeatable.
• Serverless and event-driven backends. APIs on AWS Lambda and API Gateway, with SQS and EventBridge for work that runs in the background.
• Caching with Redis. So the database doesn't get hit for every request and pages stay fast.
• CI/CD. GitHub Actions pipelines that test and deploy on every merge.
• Monitoring. Grafana, Prometheus and Loki, so you know about problems before your users do.
• Self-hosted AI models. Serving open models with vLLM on GPU machines, behind an API your app already knows how to call.

I write the services themselves in Node.js and TypeScript.

#Some numbers from my work

• 45+ Lambda functions deployed with GitHub Actions CI/CD
• Cold starts brought under 2 seconds
• 144 API endpoints tested against a live dev environment
• A 54-point server checklist for Google's CASA security review

#Projects I've worked on

At Blisslers Technolabs I built backends for client products in different industries:

• Golf Daddy: a golf training and gaming platform that connects players and coaches. Serverless microservices on AWS.
• E4RTH: a platform that rewards environmental action with carbon certificates.
• AdUP: a Chrome extension that replaces the New Tab page with content and ads, with an admin portal and live analytics.
• GREEN_EV: a CRM for the full life of electric vehicles, with five user roles.
• Petrol Pump: live monitoring of fuel dispensers over MQTT, with dashboards, reports and billing.

You can see them all on the projects page. Today I work as a Backend & Cloud Engineer at Refy9.

#How I work with teams

• Remote first. I work from Ahmedabad (India time, UTC+5:30) and overlap well with teams in Europe, the Middle East and Asia.
• Full-time, contract or a fixed piece of work. For example: move your app to AWS with Terraform, set up CI/CD, or add caching to a slow API.
• Clear and written. Plans, pull requests and handover notes are written down, so your team can run things without me.

#FAQ

#Are you open to freelance or contract work?

Yes. I'm open to remote roles and contract work, in India and abroad. Send me a note about what you need.

#Can you work with a team outside India?

Yes. I work remotely, and most of my day overlaps with Europe, the Middle East and Asia. For US teams, we can agree on a few hours of overlap.

#Do you only do infrastructure?

No. I start with the infrastructure, then build the backend services on top of it in Node.js and TypeScript. I can also help with the React side when needed.

#What should I send you to get started?

A short note: what your product does, what's hurting today (slow pages, risky deploys, AWS bills, no monitoring) and your timeline. You can also download my CV.

#Do you write about this?

Yes, I write practical guides on AWS, Terraform, caching and CI/CD on my blog.
