About

I like building things that scale and solving problems that sit at the intersection of performance and design. During my internship at Google, I contributed to automating revenue workflows and reducing approval time from manual 4 hours to a few seconds. At Groww, I’m currently designing a realtime monitoring system from scratch owning everything from database schema to system architecture. I enjoy thinking about distributed systems, clean backend design, and writing code that survives production traffic. Outside work, I actively compete in programming contests. Currently exploring full-time backend engineering opportunities where I can contribute to building scalable and reliable systems. 📩 shivam.edu4348@gmail.com
