Rishika Kumari

Backend-Focused Software Developer
Building reliable backend systems, distributed services, and developer tooling.


About Me

I'm an Information Science & Engineering student at The National Institute of Engineering, Mysore (2023–2027) with a strong interest in backend engineering, distributed systems, and production reliability.

I enjoy building software that remains reliable under failure, scale, and real-world constraints rather than only implementing happy paths.

My current interests include:

  • Backend Systems
  • Distributed Systems
  • REST API Design
  • Production Reliability
  • Open Source
  • Developer Tooling
