★  the person behind the journal

Hi, I’m Shweta.

Backend engineer with 5 years of experience building and scaling fintech systems. Most at home with Java + Spring, and I ship reliable services on AWS, Docker, Kubernetes. This journal is where I glue down everything I learn — the wins, the breakages, and the fixes.

Fixing more things than I break, creating new things that don’t break as often.
