I'm Mohit — a software engineer who builds things end to end, writes about what I learn along the way, and believes good software is as much about taste as it is about technology.
About
The person behind the codeEngineering, to me, is the craft of turning messy problems into simple, dependable systems — and knowing which corners are safe to cut.
I've spent the last several years building software across the stack — from backend services and data pipelines to the interfaces people actually touch. I care about performance, readability, and shipping things that survive contact with real users.
Outside of work, I prototype ideas as personal projects, write about engineering and product thinking, and go deep on whatever has currently captured my curiosity.

Choosing tools is choosing failure modes. A case for optimizing for the problems you understand.

Shipping alone forces you to feel the whole cost of every decision — and that changes how you build.

The best reviews I've received read like editorial feedback. The worst read like compiler output.

Off the clockSystems & Architecture
How large systems fail, scale, and evolve — and the trade-offs behind every design decision.
Writing
Clear prose and clear code come from the same place. I write to find out what I actually think.
Open Source
Reading other people's code is the cheapest education available. Contributing back is the tuition.
Photography
