About Me

Rajat Kansal

Hello! 👋

I'm Rajat Kansal, a Backend Engineer with 3 years of experience designing and scaling high-throughput, fault-tolerant distributed systems.

Proven expertise in:

  • ✅ Event-driven architectures (Kafka, Redis)
  • ✅ Scalable microservices (5K+ TPS, Kubernetes, Docker)
  • ✅ Real-time data processing (CDC, streaming pipelines)
  • ✅ Performance optimization (latency reduction, cost efficiency)

Passionate about building resilient systems with strong observability (Prometheus/Grafana) and efficient resource utilization.

Outside of work, I enjoy playing sports, reading, writing, trekking, gymming, and practicing meditation and yoga, with a deep interest in history and geography.
