  Sushant

  Backend Engineer • Distributed Systems & Databases

  I design and implement highly performant, distributed, and resilient backend systems. Currently at Conology GmbH, I focus on building multi-tenant architectures, securing microservices, and orchestrating robust event-driven networks. My technical write-ups focus on system design, database internals, and systems post-mortems.
