About

A developer focused on the backend that keeps everything running

I'm Pankaj Kumar, a software developer who builds the infrastructure, APIs and data layer behind reliable web products — then makes sure they hold up under real traffic.

Backend Development

Robust server-side logic in PHP and Python, built with maintainability and clean architecture in mind.

Cloud Infrastructure

Provisioning and managing AWS environments — EC2, S3 and SES — for reliable, scalable delivery.

API Development

Designing REST APIs that are predictable, well-documented and easy for other teams to consume.

Database Design

Schema design and query optimization across MySQL and Redis for data that stays fast at scale.

Performance Optimization

Profiling and tuning applications end-to-end, from slow queries to front-end load times.

Security Best Practices

Applying secure coding standards, sane defaults and least-privilege access across every layer.
