I am a programmer who specialises in building backend systems at scale and anticipating failure modes before they can happen, identifying bottlenecks in complex systems — both technical and non-technical and help ameliorate them.
While I’m most comfortable with Go, Python and Bash, choice of a specific
programming language or a tool has rarely been a hurdle for me while solving a
problem. The best tool is the one that does the job.
I have been programming for 13 years, 9 of them professionally building and maintaining distributed systems with distributed teams. I am often available for consulting and if you would like to hire me, please reach out to me via email: indradhanush dot gupta at gmail dot com.
In 2017, I attended the Recurse Center (RC) in New York City, spending twelve weeks becoming a better programmer (and a better human as an unintended positive side-effect). It remains one of the best experiences in my life and RC is definitely the best programming community that I have had a privilege of being a part of.
I write about software and human behaviour and when not thinking about software, I play the drums and occasionally paint.
