Hi, I’m Vishal, a backend engineer with 3 years of experience building scalable microservices and backend systems using Python, Java, FastAPI, MongoDB, RabbitMQ, Docker, and Kubernetes. I currently work at Lenovo, where I’ve worked on APIs, distributed systems, graceful shutdown handling, messaging systems, and production backend services. I’m passionate about backend architecture, system design, and writing clean, maintainable code. Recently, I’ve been focusing heavily on improving my low-level and high-level system design skills while preparing for SDE-2 opportunities. Outside of work, I enjoy discussing tech, solving design problems, exploring scalable architectures, and continuously leveling up as an engineer.
