Kritik Modi

am a backend and platform engineer specializing in building scalable, reliable systems and cloud-native infrastructure. I have experience working as a Founding Engineer, where I designed and implemented multi-cloud platforms across AWS, Azure, and GCP using Terraform, along with backend orchestration layers and automated deployment systems.

My core expertise lies in distributed systems, data platforms, and infrastructure automation. I have worked on designing secure networking architectures, building batch processing pipelines, optimizing compute resource allocation, and enabling large-scale data access through federated query systems (Trino, SQL engines). I focus heavily on performance, reliability, and cost efficiency, and have delivered measurable improvements such as significant cost reductions and faster query execution in production environments.

I can help with:
- Backend system design and API development
- Cloud infrastructure setup and automation (AWS, Azure, GCP, Terraform)
- Data platform engineering (ETL pipelines, query systems, integrations)
- Performance optimization and cost efficiency
- Debugging and scaling production systems
- CI/CD pipelines and deployment workflows

In addition to my engineering experience, I have a strong problem-solving background (top competitive programming rankings globally), which enables me to approach complex technical challenges with structured reasoning and efficiency.

I focus on writing clean, maintainable code and delivering solutions that are robust, scalable, and aligned with real-world production needs. I am comfortable working independently or collaborating with teams in fast-paced environments, and I prioritize clear communication and reliable delivery.
