I'm Ankit

I am a final-year Integrated M.Tech (BTech+MTech) student in Information Technology at IIIT Gwalior with a strong foundation in backend development, distributed systems, and core computer science fundamentals. I blend rigorous academic training with hands-on product development, currently building as a Backend Engineer Intern at Rakuten India and having previously interned at Pixellus Design and Amazon (ML Summer School - Top 0.1%). I have delivered production-grade features, resilient data pipelines (Airflow, PySpark), and microservices capable of high-throughput workloads. A passionate competitive programmer, I am a Knight on LeetCode (Top 3% globally) and a Specialist on Codeforces, having solved 1,000+ problems in C++. My current research and independent work focuses on scalable software solutions, system design, and algorithmic optimization.
