Chaitanya Prabhu

Backend Engineer

New Delhi, India

Backend engineer building high-performance, fault-tolerant services and APIs — from the request parser up to the data layer. I write servers and frameworks from the socket up in TypeScript and C, design data layers in PostgreSQL and Redis, and ship with Docker and Kubernetes on AWS. Focused on distributed systems and the reliability problems — backpressure, failover, consistency — that decide whether a service holds up under load.
