Yo! Darshan Here
I'm a software engineer passionate about backend engineering, system architecture, and applied AI. Currently, I'm a Software Engineer at Indihood, where I focus on architecting complex workflows and designing APIs. We build scalable banking and enterprise systems that allow clients to effortlessly deploy solutions while we handle the secure, high-throughput infrastructure under the hood.
Previously, I was a QA/Automation Engineer at Dassault Systèmes, where I managed 2 product suites implementing critical automated workflows and maintaining comprehensive and detailed test suites. The experience drove me to understand and deep dive on how things work under the hood. On the side, I love to explore new engineering concepts and implement them in work or side projects.
In 2024, I took a leap of faith and started my Master's journey in Computer Science with Scaler Academy and Woolf University. This pivot allowed me to specialize in building resilient, high-throughput systems that simply don't break. It's where I truly grew into backend engineering, learning how to take a product from 0 to 1 and scale it beyond.
I love deep-diving into backend concepts through books, articles and YT videos, constantly exploring how to build systems at scale which doesn't break. On the side, I enjoy exploring new engineering concepts — whether that's wiring up new AI workflows, squeezing more performance out of a heavily modded Minecraft setup, or getting that extra tenth of a second out of the lap at Suzuka.
When I'm not exploring system internals, I'm a massive motorsport fan. I'm a dedicated Tifosi to the core, and you'll usually find me stressing over Ferrari, analyzing chess moves with Gotham Chess or ChessBrah India, or just kicking back watching tech videos and listening to modern/classic rock and 90s Bollywood music.
