I'm Binayak, a developer in Mumbai. I’m focused primarily on backend engineering, distributed systems, and microservices. I work mainly with Go and TypeScript, building scalable systems and APIs, while also working across the stack with Next.js and React when needed. I enjoy solving problems at the intersection of system design, performance, and developer experience.
