Sameer Kulkarni

Senior Software Engineer · Berlin

Building backend systems that stay boring in production.

I write about Java/Kotlin, cloud platforms, observability, and the practical stuff you learn while operating real systems.

What I build

Backends that are reliable, observable, and easy to run — APIs, event-driven workflows, and data/analytics pipelines.

  • Backend: Java/Kotlin, Node.js/TypeScript
  • Platform: AWS, Kubernetes, Terraform, CI/CD
  • Reliability: dashboards, alerts, tracing, load testing

Backend engineering

APIs, event-driven systems, and data pipelines in Java/Kotlin.

Cloud & platform

AWS, Kubernetes, CI/CD, and production-grade observability.

Writing

Short, practical notes — the stuff I wish I had bookmarked earlier.
