About Kirtan
I help startups and businesses build scalable backend systems that are fast, reliable, and designed to handle real production traffic. My focus is on backend engineering, distributed systems, and event-driven architectures using Golang, Kafka, Redis, DynamoDB, PostgreSQL, and AWS.
I have experience building and optimizing:
• High-performance REST APIs and microservices
• Kafka-based asynchronous processing systems
• Real-time workflows and event pipelines
• Backend systems handling complex operational flows
• Scalable architectures with low latency and high reliability
• Observability and monitoring systems for production debugging
What clients typically get from working with me:
• Faster and more scalable backend infrastructure
• Reduced API latency and improved system performance
• Clean, maintainable, production-ready code
• Reliable async workflows and queue-based processing
• Better system stability and easier debugging in production
• Backend architectures that can scale as the product grows
I also have experience integrating multiple third-party APIs, optimizing caching and database queries, and improving infrastructure efficiency for growing products.
Core Stack:
Golang, Kafka, Redis, DynamoDB, PostgreSQL, Python, Django, Node.js, AWS, Docker, REST APIs, Microservices
I work best on projects involving backend development, scalable systems, real-time processing, infrastructure optimization, and distributed architectures.
