ABOUT SMITA DESHPANDE

I enjoy solving challenging problems in distributed systems and designing software that combines efficiency, scalability, and clarity. My work has primarily focused on C++ and Linux-based development, where I’ve designed and implemented backend components, middleware frameworks, and high-performance algorithms for complex systems.I’m experienced in building applications in Linux user space, using multithreading, socket programming, message queues, and signals, along with modern tools like systemd, journald, nginx, Docker, CMake, and gRPC. I like exploring how algorithmic thinking can simplify system design — whether it’s optimizing data flow, reducing latency, or improving concurrency in distributed environments.Earlier in my career, I worked in industrial automation and IoT platforms, developing firmware and networked applications that strengthened my understanding of system architecture and low level performance. While that background gave me a solid grasp of embedded systems and real-time design, my focus and interest today are in software architecture, distributed systems, and algorithmic optimization.Through my master’s in Computer Science, I deepened my expertise in algorithms, data structures, artificial intelligence, and big data analytics, which further shaped my approach to designing intelligent and efficient software systems.Technologies: C++, Linux, REST APIs, gRPC, Docker, Nginx, FCGI, Git, CMake, Boost, SQL, Swagger, systemd, journald, networking (BGP, OSPF, VLAN), and wireless protocols (Zigbee, HART, BLE).
