Build systems that survive contact with reality.

About me

I'm Pushpit Saluja — a computer science student building things at the intersection of Go backend engineering, cloud infrastructure, and DevOps.

I contribute to the MediaWiki codebase not just to ship patches, but to study how production-grade systems are architected, reviewed, and operated at scale. Open source is my classroom.

I care less about tool checklists and more about the *why* — why a system breaks under load, why an architectural decision compounds over time, why simplicity is a feature.

Also part of WikiClub Tech UU, where I collaborate on Wikimedia tech, open-source workflows, and engineering culture.

My work

Backend Engineering (Go)

Go is my primary language. I'm drawn to its philosophy — explicit over clever, fast by default, built for concurrency. I work on:

REST and gRPC service design
Concurrency patterns — goroutines, channels, worker pools
Writing idiomatic, testable, production-ready Go
Interfacing backend services with cloud-native infrastructure

Cloud & DevOps

My infrastructure work spans AWS, Docker, and Linux-based environments. I focus on:

Containerisation and cloud-native architecture
CI/CD pipeline design and automation
How networking, compute, and storage decisions affect reliability, cost, and developer experience
Fault tolerance, observability, and operational simplicity

Writing

I publish long-form technical writing on Substack — breaking down cloud architecture, distributed systems, databases, networking, and backend design.

The lens is always: first principles, real trade-offs, how engineers actually reason in production — not surface-level tutorials.
