About Rhishikesh Chikhalkar
As a passionate Python Backend Developer with over 4 years of experience, I specialize in building scalable RESTful APIs, microservices, and cloud-native backend systems. My focus is on designing efficient, high-performance architectures using FastAPI, PostgreSQL, and AWS Cloud services. API Development: Proficient in developing modular, secure, and high-performance APIs using FastAPI and Flask, integrated with authentication, caching, and asynchronous processing. Cloud & DevOps: Experienced in deploying containerized applications using AWS (EKS, Lambda, S3, CodePipeline) and Docker, with strong command over CI/CD automation and version-controlled releases. Database Engineering: Skilled in designing PostgreSQL schemas, optimizing queries, and implementing indexing strategies to improve data access and scalability. Monitoring & Debugging: Hands-on experience with Lens, Aptakube, and CloudWatch for pod-level debugging, performance tracing, and real-time issue resolution in Kubernetes clusters. System Optimization: Proven ability to improve API response times by 40% through database tuning, caching, and asynchronous request handling.I’m deeply motivated by building backend systems that are fast, reliable, and maintainable, while embracing automation and best practices in cloud deployment.Always eager to learn emerging technologies and collaborate with teams that value clean code, scalability, and innovation.Let’s connect to discuss backend architecture, cloud automation, or API engineering opportunities!
