I'm Sankalp, a backend-heavy full-stack engineer focused on building performant, secure, and scalable systems. I bridge the gap between intuitive product experiences and the rock-solid reliability of secure, large-scale infrastructure.

Over the last few years, I've driven the evolution of the core platform at HackerRank, supporting 20M+ developers and $25M+ in ARR. My work has focused on owning and scaling mission-critical infrastructure, including cloud IDEs, code execution systems, and GenAI skill integrations, while balancing reliability with insanely great developer experience.

I'm passionate about building reliable, scalable backend systems with clear intent focusing on why we're building something, not just how to deliver it. I bring this mindset to open source as well, contributing to projects and mentoring across communities in organizations like OpenWISP.
