About
I'm Ashish Karmakar. I build the future of robust systems.
I am a self-driven software engineering student specializing in high-performance backend architectures and generative AI integration. Currently pursuing my B.Tech at JIS College of Engineering.
What I'm Currently Hacking on
Developing high-scale event-driven architectures with Kafka and Redis.
Recently participated in the Global GenAI Hackathon, where we built a real-time summarization engine for technical documentation.
I am currently deep-diving into System Design patterns to understand how to handle millions of concurrent connections using microservices.
