I turn ambiguous product ideas into systems that work in production.
Currently engineering @KNOT, where I work across web, infra, analytics, internal tooling, deployments, and operations-facing systems.
About
Hi, I'm Rakshit. I'm a product minded full-stack engineer who likes taking messy ideas and turning them into systems people can actually use. Most of my work sits somewhere between product engineering, frontend craft, a little backend, and staying involved to keep things alive after launch.
Outside work, I read fiction, write some bad poetry when time permits, enjoy a cup of chai, watch anime and stay curious about people, cities, stories, music, and the small patterns that make life feel less automatic. This site is partly a portfolio, a small record of what I'm learning while building and living through it
