I'm Sanket Baviskar, a Backend & Distributed Systems Engineer with 2+ years of experience building scalable, fault-tolerant services and data-driven APIs. I’ve worked in fast-moving product environments, owning features end-to-end from design to deployment, and I’m currently pursuing my MS in Computer Science at CU Denver.

I love working on:

• High-performance APIs, rate limiting, and request orchestration
• Distributed systems, caching, and observability
• Cloud-native architectures on AWS with CI/CD and containers
• Secure, reliable infrastructure that developers can trust at scale

I’m actively looking for Backend / Platform / Infrastructure SDE roles.

A backend service for API protection with multiple rate-limiting strategies.

• Implemented using FastAPI + Redis
• Supports sliding window, token bucket–style logic, and per-key limits
• Designed as a building block toward firewall/CDN-style safeguards and intelligent throttling

Backend for a unified personal AI that connects apps into a single knowledge pool.

• FastAPI backend orchestrating calls to open-source LLMs + RAG
• Integrates email, notes, calendar, and tasks as structured data sources
• Focus on API design, background processing, and data modeling for extensible automation

A Chrome extension that turns YouTube into a focused environment.

• Hides recommendations, comments, and distractions for deep-work sessions
• Built with lightweight frontend logic, but designed to support future backend analytics

Backend-focused platform for managing professional recreational centers.

• Designed RESTful APIs for bookings, memberships, and facility management
• Built with Node.js and a relational database for consistent, reliable state
• Emphasis on clean domain modeling, validation, and production-ready structure

• 🎯 Primary focus: Backend engineering, distributed systems, and production infrastructure
• 🔭 Currently building: Rec-It and intelligent rate-limiting + network guard systems
• 🌱 Currently learning:
  • Advanced networking protocols
  • Firewalls / CDN patterns and traffic shaping
  • Design of AI-driven SaaS infrastructure
• 👯 Open to collaborate on: Backend-heavy open-source projects in AI infra, API platforms, and cloud tooling
• 🤔 Looking for help with: Strengthening firewall / CDN capabilities and best practices for secure edge architectures
• 💬 Ask me about: Backend design, API performance, caching, rate limiting, and system design
• 📫 Reach me: Email | LinkedIn | Twitter (X)
• ⚡ Fun fact: I enjoy building 3D models in PowerPoint to explain system design and architecture.
