About

👋 Hi there! I’m Deepak, a Software Engineer (SDE - Backend at NIKSUN) with 3.9+ years of experience building scalable and high-performance systems. At NIKSUN, I design and develop microservices, RESTful APIs, and system integrations for network monitoring and analytics platforms. My work often involves Python, Nodejs, Docker, Kubernetes, and observability tools like Grok patterns, Regex, and OpenTelemetry. Previously, I worked at Rizzle, where I helped build and scale GraphQL APIs, improve backend reliability, and enhance data analytics workflows. I’ve also interned with Cloudify, Linux Socials, and Ecera Systems, gaining diverse experience across product development and data-driven engineering. I’m passionate about 0→1 product development, system design, and backend architecture — and I’m looking to join a product-based company or startup where I can contribute to building impactful systems/solutions from the ground up. Tech Stack: Java, Python, Flask, FastAPI, Node.js, GraphQL, TypeScript, Django, Nest.js, Next.js, Jest, React, AngularJS, Docker, Kubernetes, MySQL, MongoDB, Kafka, AWS CloudWatch, ELK Stack, Ansible, Grok Patterns, Regex, OpenTelemetry, Serverless, Data Analytics, ML, AI/LLMs, RAG 📬 Always open to connecting or collaborating — feel free to reach out!
