Background & working principles

Behind the systems.

I’m Ankan Pal, a Backend & DevOps Engineer based in West Bengal, India. I work across application development and the infrastructure that supports it.

Background

My work spans backend services, cloud infrastructure, and delivery automation. I enjoy following a problem across those boundaries: from an API and its data model to the environment where it runs.

I provision infrastructure with Terraform, work with Kubernetes and AWS, and build services with tools such as Spring Boot, Express.js, and PostgreSQL. My projects also take me into Python pipelines, Go utilities, Android, and hardware.

I value simple systems that solve the problem completely. Reproducible environments, clear interfaces, and understandable failure behavior make software easier to maintain and improve.

Outside my day-to-day work, I explore emerging technologies and contribute to open source. Building a small tool for a real problem is often how I learn best.
