About Ravi
I’ve been working on backend systems since 2014, mostly for SaaS products and web apps that can’t afford to fall over when traffic spikes.
Day to day I’m in Laravel and Go (Fiber): designing APIs, shaping data models, and fixing the parts that usually hurt first — slow queries, missing indexes, noisy background jobs, and brittle integrations.
I like being close to the product and building backends that still make sense a few years later, not just for the next release. I’m open to remote backend roles and longer-term work with teams building real products.
What I work on
Designing and evolving multi-tenant architectures.
Keeping APIs versioned and stable as features change.
Making search, reporting, and analytics fast enough to feel instant.
Tuning queries and indexes instead of only throwing hardware at the problem.
Using queues, workers, and Redis to keep UIs responsive under load.
