Backend Developer
Divyam Kumar Pandey
Backend-leaning full stack engineer building scalable production systems. IIT Kharagpur graduate. Currently crafting reliable infrastructure at Pync.
About
I'm a backend-leaning full stack engineer with strong experience in building real-world production systems at an early-stage startup. I've grown from intern to full-time backend developer by working on 0→1 product development, scaling systems used by tens of thousands of users, and owning critical infrastructure such as payments, notifications, and observability.
I prefer practical engineering over theory-heavy abstraction and value systems that are simple, debuggable, and cost-efficient. I have strong ownership instincts and frequently optimize for reliability, latency, and operational clarity.
