Building systems that scale.

I'm Sandesh — a Backend Engineer pursuing my Master's in Computer Science at Northeastern University (Khoury College). With 3+ years across Thoughtworks and TCS, I've built distributed .NET Core microservices on Azure, serverless workflows on AWS, and enterprise banking APIs with Spring Boot.

I specialize in microservices, cloud-native architectures, reliability engineering, and observability. I care deeply about clean code, test-driven development, and systems that don't break at 3 AM.
