Hey, I'm Shikhar 👋

Building scalable systems and exploring intelligent infrastructure.



🧑‍💻 About

I build high-throughput backend systems, event-driven architectures, and cloud-native distributed applications.

My primary focus is on Java and the Spring ecosystem, with experience across messaging, caching, databases, cloud infrastructure, observability, and system design.

Currently exploring the intersection of distributed systems and AI through Agentic AI, MCP, LLM tool integration, RAG, and intelligent automation.
