Abhishek Kumar — Software Engineer
I'm a systems-focused backend engineer with deep experience in building high-performance, low-latency applications. My work spans across C++, Go, and cloud-native technologies like Kubernetes and Docker, with a strong inclination toward designing distributed systems that scale. From implementing a Redis clone and exploring the internals of Elasticsearch and Lucene, to designing microservices using gRPC and building real-time systems like a trading engine and a Hilbert-curve-based spatial search engine, I’ve consistently worked at the intersection of performance, scalability, and elegant architecture. My recent focus has been on: Real-time trading systems and event-driven architectures using C++, Go, PostgreSQL, Redis, Kafka, and Elasticsearch. Projects involving RAG (Retrieval-Augmented Generation), semantic search, and knowledge graphs to build smart FAQ bots and enhanced search systems. Exploring graph algorithms and geospatial indexing using quadtrees and space-filling curves. Writing and sharing technical content to demystify RPCs, design patterns, and system design for broader audiences. I enjoy working on open-source, experimenting with cutting-edge technologies, and sharing my learnings through writing and collaboration. Let’s connect if you're into high-performance systems, microservices, or modern backend engineering!
