Full Stack Developer
Hey, I'm Rishi, a full stack developer at AppX based in Noida, India 🇮🇳 where I build backend systems that hold up at scale, and the product interfaces that sit on top of them.
Experience
A short overview of where I've worked so far: mostly backend systems built to stay up under load, and the product interfaces sitting on top of them.

Building applications and dashboards from the ground up for educators and creators, and the backend behind them, which serves 400 million requests a day with high availability.

Fixed UI bugs across the codebase, improving layout and responsiveness, and worked with the community to keep the design consistent across the platform.
