About Vikas Sen

Backend Software Engineer working close to the system — building, optimizing, and supporting C++ and Python services running in real production environments on Linux and Windows.Over the past 3+ years, I’ve worked on backend components where reliability, performance, and correctness matter. My work spans C++, Python, Bash, Linux internals, message queues, Redis-backed data pipelines, and release automation.I enjoy owning problems end-to-end — from understanding system behavior and debugging production issues to improving performance, automating workflows, and making systems easier to operate.What I work on day to day:Backend services in C++ on LinuxPerformance optimization and debugging in production environmentsAutomation of build, packaging, and release workflows using PythonData processing pipelines using Redis and message queuesRoot cause analysis of real-world issuesI value clarity, ownership, and systems that fail predictably instead of mysteriously. I’m most engaged when working close to the core of the system and solving problems that don’t have obvious answers.Currently open to backend or systems engineering roles where I can work close to the metal, solve hard problems, and help build reliable software at scale.
