Hey dev.to! 👋

I'm Rohit, a fullstack developer who just joined.

What I do: Backend and security work, mostly in Go (Fiber), PostgreSQL, and Valkey/RabbitMQ.

What I'm into: Anti-fraud systems, API hardening, self-hosted infrastructure, and squeezing performance out of data heavy services.

Here to: Share what I learn building and securing production systems, and pick up ideas from you all.

In my 12+ years in tech I have worn multiple hats, just skimming through a few of them

  • Started as a MIS developer coding in VBA+Excel, later switching to PHP+MySQL based solutions

  • Got into web development using PHP+MySQL in LAMP stack - used codigniter3, laravel to create web-apps

  • Got into functional programming with Python - AI/ML, Data Science, Web development, POC creation and tooling

  • Switched Python for NodeJS for web-development/API based softwares wanted speed :)) while still using python for all other tasks that NodeJS was made for. Saw JS evolve from callbacks to promises being included in stdlib, same with the futuristic es6 evolution

  • Switched again :))) from NodeJS to GoLang for its easy to use parallelism (GoRoutines) and for its single, standalone native binary (I love speeeeeed 🚀)

I mostly use reactJS or its spiritual successor NextJS for webapps, though personally love VueJS/NuxtJS and other Evan You's projects...
