Backend systems,
built with intent.
I'm Abishek — a computer science student building distributed systems, financial ledgers, and the quiet infrastructure that has to hold up under load, failure, and review.
A short introduction.
I care about systems that can be explained, tested, and trusted. That shows up in my work through release governance, transactional storage, idempotent ledgers, distributed coordination, and explicit failure handling.
Alongside backend engineering, I explore research-heavy problems in AI robustness and contribute to open-source projects inside real, production-scale codebases.
- Systems ReleaseGate, ShardDB, MIDAS Ledger, Job Orchestrator
- Research AI safety, failure modes, software reliability
- Goal Internship roles where backend depth and engineering judgment matter
- OSS Merged into iii · PRs across OpenSearch, Bazel, Kubernetes, FastAPI
Things I've shipped.
ReleaseGate
Jira-native release governance engine with declarative policy enforcement, immutable audit snapshots, and offline-verifiable proof packs.
ShardDB
Fault-tolerant transactional key-value store with custom Raft, 2PC, snapshots, and chaos-tested linearizability checks.
MIDAS Ledger
Concurrency-safe financial ledger with double-entry accounting, idempotent transfers, and invariant-based stress testing.
Job Orchestrator
Multi-tenant job orchestration system with race-free leasing, fairness controls, transactional outbox delivery, and observability.
