Hello! 👋

I'm Soumitri Pattnaik

Principal Software Engineer & Tech Enthusiast

About Me

I build distributed systems, data insgestion systems, microservice backends, web & desktop applications using Cloud, Kubernetes and Full-Stack technologies — brining over 12 years of industry experience and a genuine passion for clean design, automation, developer productivity and tech in general.

Outside of work, I love building tools that simplify real-world workflows, exploring everything from cloud architectures and system designs to Linux setups, Raspberry Pis, developer tooling - and yes, I'm always up for a good chat about tech, gadgets, or games.

Building since 2008
