About Gourav Kumar

I’m a Software Engineer at Enphase Energy and an IIT Guwahati graduate (B.Tech in Electrical and Electronics Engineering with a Computer Science minor). I build scalable, resilient backend systems that power clean-energy and IoT solutions at a global scale.My expertise lies in Java (Spring Boot, Spring WebFlux) and Ruby on Rails, with a strong focus on microservices, event-driven architectures, and real-time data streaming. I’ve helped design and implement backend architectures for configurable, data-driven mobile platforms, ensuring high availability, fault tolerance, and low latency. My work spans API design, database optimization (PostgreSQL, Redis), and cloud-native deployments using Docker, Kubernetes, and AWS.I enjoy exploring AI-driven backend optimization, building RAG pipelines with LangChain and Pinecone, experimenting with LLMs (Ollama, OpenAI APIs), and integrating intelligent automation into distributed systems.Earlier, I gained hands-on experience as a Software Engineering Intern at Samsung Research, strengthening my foundation in system design, API integration, and performance optimization.Outside of engineering, I enjoy reading, playing chess (1800+ Chess.com), badminton, table tennis, and football. Always open to connecting with professionals working in backend development, distributed systems, and AI-driven engineering.
