Hi, I'm Abhishek Barkade Senior Backend Engineer · Pune, India · 3 Years Building Distributed Systems
What I Do
I design and build backend systems using Node.js, TypeScript, Kafka, GraphQL Federation, NestJS, and Redis.
My focus areas: event-driven architecture, microservices, and backend infrastructure that stays reliable under real-world load.
Why I Teach
Most backend engineering content online falls into one of two traps.
Either it's too shallow — "here's how to use the tool, good luck." Or it's too academic — buried in theory with no connection to how systems actually behave in production.
There's a gap between knowing how to use a tool and understanding why it was designed that way.
That second layer is what changes how you think as an engineer. That's what I focus on.
Who My Courses Are For
Working engineers who want to stop copying patterns and start understanding them.
If you want to design backend systems, debug them confidently, and defend your architectural decisions in a senior engineering interview — you're in the right place.
