Hi! 👋
I'm Akash Sharma, creator of Build Beyond Backend. A Senior Software Engineer with 6 years of experience building scalable backend systems.
I specialize in backend development with Python (Flask, FastAPI, Django) and Go (Gin Gonic), building RESTful APIs and production-ready applications. My work spans across designing robust architectures, optimizing database performance, and delivering reliable systems that scale.
Beyond application development, I work extensively with infrastructure and DevOps—leveraging Docker for containerization, Kubernetes for orchestration, and cloud platforms to deploy and maintain production systems.
Through this blog, I share practical insights, technical deep-dives, and real-world solutions from my experience building backend systems at scale.
