I'm Rohit Shakya, a Senior Backend Engineer passionate about building scalable distributed systems, cloud-native platforms, and developer infrastructure.
I hold an M.Sc. in Computer Science from the Department of Computer Science, University of Delhi, and currently work as a Senior Software Engineer at Deutsche Telekom, where I build platform capabilities for the Unified Data Platform (UDP) powering engineering teams across Europe. Previously, I worked at OLX Indonesia, Healthians, ShopClues, and Viva Online Learning Technologies, contributing to large-scale backend platforms across e-commerce, healthcare, and edtech. :contentReference[oaicite:0]{index=0}
