Hi There !!!
Hi, I'm Rohit — a backend developer who enjoys building systems that are reliable, scalable, and clean under the hood. Most of my work sits where solid application code meets real infrastructure: writing the services, then making sure they ship and run smoothly in production.
Backend & Infrastructure
On the development side, I work primarily with Java and Spring Boot, building backend services and APIs, with Keycloak handling authentication and identity. I containerise everything with Docker and deploy to Kubernetes, and I've built out full CI/CD pipelines from scratch using GitHub Actions and Argo CD — the kind of setup where a push flows all the way to a running deployment without anyone babysitting it.
I also enjoy working with data in motion. I've used Apache Kafka to manage and process large volumes of streaming telemetry data, keeping things flowing reliably even at scale. On the cloud side, I've worked across AWS, Azure, and Contabo, so I'm comfortable adapting to whatever environment a project calls for.
I like learning by building, and most of what I write about here comes straight from things I've actually set up, broken, fixed, and figured out along the way.
India's Citizen Squad — Discovery
Outside of tech, one of the experiences I'm proudest of is being part of India's Citizen Squad, a military-based reality show that aired on Discovery and Discovery Science. Selected as one of a small group of everyday citizens, I went through an intense endurance boot camp led by ex-military specialists — a series of demanding physical and mental challenges built to push you well past where you think your limits are. It taught me a lot about composure under pressure and pushing through when things get hard, lessons that quietly carry over into how I approach tough problems at work too.
National Cadet Corps (NCC)
A lot of that mindset was shaped early through my time in the National Cadet Corps, where I trained as a cadet and earned both the NCC 'B' Certificate and the NCC 'C' Certificate — the senior-most cadet qualification. Along the way I took part in a range of camps, from regular annual training camps to the more demanding ones, including a National Integration Camp in Punjab that brought cadets together from across the country. Those years built the habits I still rely on: discipline, teamwork, and being comfortable when things get tough.
Code on one side, boot camps and parade grounds on the other — I've always liked living in both worlds. The same thing drives both: enjoying a hard problem, staying calm when it gets messy, and seeing it through to the end. If any of that resonates — whether you want to talk backend systems, swap training stories, or just say hi — I'd love to hear from you. Reach out on any of the platforms above. Thanks for stopping by.
