I'm Akash Mallik, a senior software engineer who works mainly in Python — building backend services, data pipelines, and the automation that keeps them running without anyone babysitting them. I care about code that's easy to read six months later, not just code that works today.
Lately I've been focused on API design, async processing, and shipping things that hold up under real production load. When I'm not writing Python, I'm probably breaking something in a side project just to learn how it works.
