Backend and systems engineer focused on storage, distributed systems, and reliability. I like building the durable, concurrent, failure-tolerant layer that sits underneath applications — and understanding exactly how it behaves when pushed past its limits.

B.Tech in Computer Science, Dayananda Sagar University (2025). Currently Founding Engineer at SiteSmart.

WAL Engine  ·  Go A crash-consistent Write-Ahead Log engine: segmented append-only storage, CRC32C corruption detection, concurrent group commit with strict LSN ordering, and checkpoint-assisted crash recovery. Validated with 90+ tests including fault injection and chaos testing. Models the durability internals found in systems like PostgreSQL WAL and RocksDB.

Distributed Job Queue  ·  Python FastAPI Redis PostgreSQL Kubernetes  ·  Live A priority job queue with exponential-backoff-with-jitter retries, idempotent request handling, per-job execution timeouts, and worker crash recovery. Multi-queue Redis scheduling, PostgreSQL-backed job state, and a Kubernetes (kind) deployment. Load-tested with k6 to find the worker-throughput scaling ceiling.

Collaborative Canvas  ·  TypeScript Yjs uWebSockets.js  ·  Live A real-time multi-user whiteboard using CRDTs over a binary WebSocket protocol, with per-socket backpressure handling and measured graceful degradation under load.

I write about storage internals, performance engineering, and real-world debugging at blog.mohith16.com.
