I'm Deepak Kumar Jha — Technical Lead and Senior Full-Stack Engineer. I design and ship cloud-native backends, enterprise SaaS platforms and AI-powered systems for companies across India, the UAE, the US and Europe. I write about system architecture, Node.js and NestJS, microservices, AI/LLM integration, cloud infrastructure on AWS and GCP, and the real-world lessons from building systems that serve 60M+ users. Currently Technical Lead at SmartSitting (New York, remote). Based in New Delhi NCR, India and open to full-time roles in Delhi NCR and Dubai/UAE. I share honest, battle-tested insights — not hype.
