Hello, I'm 👋🏻

Shivam Kumar Verma

Software Engineer · Full-Stack, Backend Heavy

Hero / Intro

I am a software engineer with strong backend depth and full-stack execution ability. I build scalable systems, async workflows, developer tools, and real-time products with a clear focus on performance, reliability, isolation, automation, and practical product engineering.

My strongest work sits at the intersection of backend architecture, real-time systems, automation, infrastructure, and applied AI workflows. I enjoy taking technically difficult problems such as sandboxed execution, message-driven systems, distributed coordination, runtime isolation, and background processing, then turning them into usable products.

About Me

I am a backend-heavy full-stack engineer and a B.Tech student in Computer Science and Engineering at IIIT Nagpur, graduating in May 2026. I am especially interested in system design, distributed systems, platform engineering, and applied AI. I am comfortable designing APIs, queues, orchestration layers, and real-time infrastructure when product quality depends on getting the backend architecture right.

I care more about solving real product bottlenecks than listing technologies. That usually means reducing latency, simplifying data models, moving heavy work out of the request path, or creating cleaner boundaries around execution and coordination. Across the systems I build, I have a strong bias toward reliability, maintainability, architecture clarity, and scale.

Core Positioning
  • Scalable backend systems
  • Async workflows and pipelines
  • Real-time products and streaming
  • Developer tools and platform engineering
  • Performance, reliability, and isolation
What I'm Currently Building

This repository is a founder-outreach AI knowledge base designed as a single source of truth for an AI outreach agent that maps my engineering experience, projects, and skills directly to startup problems.

The core idea is straightforward: founders do not buy skills; they buy solutions to bottlenecks. I am using this repository to structure my experience, project evidence, startup analysis frameworks, and prompting workflows so an outreach system can infer likely engineering problems and connect them to relevant technical work.

Notable Achievements
  • Competitive Programming. Ranked in the top 5% globally on LeetCode with an 1800+ rating. Also reached 3-star on CodeChef with a 1700+ rating, became a Pupil on Codeforces with a max rating of 1261, and is rated on AtCoder at 440+. I treat these as evidence of analytical problem solving, algorithmic depth, and comfort reasoning through difficult technical constraints.
