Background

About Devashish Khandelwal

I'm a backend engineer with 6+ years of experience building high-performance, scalable, and reliable systems that power real-time communication at scale. At Freshworks, I’ve led critical infrastructure migrations, built microservices that deliver 100B+ messages/month, and optimized systems to maintain <150ms latency SLAs across global regions. I’ve worked extensively with Golang, Kubernetes, AWS, and Kafka, and take pride in designing systems that are resilient, observable, and easy to operate. My core strengths lie in: Designing distributed systems that scale effortlessly Debugging hard production issues under pressure Automating infrastructure and deployments using Terraform, Jenkins, and Helm Collaborating across teams to build tools that last I’m currently deepening my expertise in system design and advanced DSA, actively preparing for backend roles in high-growth startups or top product companies. Whether it’s building infra from scratch, scaling an existing platform, or solving reliability challenges — I enjoy getting my hands dirty and owning the problem end-to-end. Let’s connect if you're working on backend/infrastructure-heavy products or just want to nerd out on real-time systems, performance tuning, or devops.
