A small practice in two parts — building things that work, and learning what makes them not.

@Siddarth0

I am an early-career software engineer working between systems and surfaces. My focus is on backend architecture, full-stack web platforms, and the steady, unglamorous craft of making software that does not break.

I graduated in 2025 with a Bachelor of Computer Engineering from Kantipur Engineering College, and have kept shipping production work since — most recently a multi-tenant ticketing backend for a national bus operator and an AI-collaborative SaaS I am building solo.

I am drawn to problems that sit between disciplines: payments and trust, real-time collaboration and consistency, infrastructure and developer experience.
