// FILE NOTES

> I'm Harish — a backend-focused engineer drawn to the parts of software that are invisible when they work and obvious when they don't: idempotency, fan-out, contracts between services, queueing, replay.

> Currently a Backend Engineering Intern at Mercari India, working on a Preorder feature that touches four service tiers and serves millions of users. Before that — a real-time chat platform, a trading exchange matching engine, and a full-stack payment wallet.

> I optimize for the engineer reading the code six months from now. Usually me.

// LOOKING FOR

Backend or full-stack roles where the bar is high, the systems are real, and code review is a learning loop. Bonus: event-driven architectures and gnarly migration work.

// HOW I WORK

Clean contracts first, observability second, clever code never.
