About Ankur

I am a Senior Systems & Backend Architect with over 12 years of experience designing, optimizing, and securing high-performance distributed systems. As the founder of SwiftLogic Systems, I act as an independent technical consultant, helping high-growth startups and enterprises solve complex performance bottlenecks, lower cloud operating costs, and build robust software infrastructure.

My technical expertise is built on a strong "T-Shaped" profile:

  • Low-Level Systems Programming (Rust & Linux):I specialize in writing highly optimized, zero-dependency systems tools in Rust, utilizing eBPF/XDP for kernel-level security and observability, and designing custom memory engines (like Slab allocators) to eliminate heap fragmentation and minimize CPU overhead.
  • High-Performance Backend & Databases (Go, Python, & Postgres):I design and maintain highly available APIs, concurrent microservices, and event-driven data pipelines using Go, Python (Django/DRF, FastAPI), and Kafka. I specialize in profiling complex query paths, resolving N+1 database bottlenecks, and optimizing PostgreSQL database performance under heavy production-scale loads.
  • Cloud Orchestration & Security Compliance:I build secure, stable, and compliant cloud infrastructures on AWS. I have extensive experience setting up automated CI/CD pipelines, container orchestration (Kubernetes, Rancher, Docker), and hardening systems to satisfy strict SOC 2 and HIPAA security regulations.

Whether you need an in-depth security and access-control audit of your Django/DRF codebase, a high-throughput data-ingestion pipeline built in Go, or low-level performance profiling of your Linux clusters, I am ready to assist.
