Hi, I'm Saksham Malhotra

Software engineer with a knack for backend systems, cloud infrastructure, and developer tooling. I build things that are reliable, fast, and a little bit clever.

// About Me

Building reliable software,
one commit at a time.

I'm a software engineer based in Ottawa with over two years of professional experience and a Master's in Software Engineering from Carleton University. My sweet spot is backend development : designing extensions, managing cloud infrastructure on Google Cloud, and writing the kind of Python that other developers actually enjoy reading.

I'm equally passionate about clear communication and collaboration. I believe the best engineers understand people just as well as they understand systems.
