About Me

Hi, I’m Vivek Kumar — a software developer with 10+ years of experience building scalable backend systems and robust web applications.

I work across a modern tech stack including Ruby on Rails, Node.js, Python, JavaScript, React, and Angular on the frontend and backend, with deep expertise in REST APIs, Microservices, and Distributed Systems.

On the database side, I have hands-on experience with MySQL (including SKIP LOCKED and indexing optimizations), Redis (TTL locking strategies), and background job processing with Sidekiq.

For infrastructure and observability, I work with AWS (EC2, S3, SES, RDS), manage deployments via CI/CD pipelines with Jenkins, and monitor systems using Elasticsearch and Kibana.

This blog is where I share practical tutorials, deep dives, and real-world solutions — from API design and database optimization to cloud infrastructure and system architecture.

If it’s broken in prod and fixed by midnight, there’s probably a blog post coming about it.
