I’m Hrithik Chauhan.

I work on cloud infrastructure and data platforms, building systems that stay reliable, scale properly, and don’t surprise anyone at 2 AM.

My focus is on automation, reliability, and building production-style systems using AWS, Terraform, Python, Kafka, PySpark, Databricks, Docker, and CI/CD pipelines.

I’m particularly interested in system design, data engineering, and backend engineering — especially how distributed systems process data, handle failures, and recover when things inevitably go wrong.

Lately, I’ve been building end-to-end engineering projects across cloud infrastructure, event-driven systems, real-time streaming, and data platforms — from infrastructure drift detection and automated remediation to media processing and real-time financial data pipelines.

I prefer solving real system problems over just using tools. Understanding why something works matters more than just getting it to run.

Currently focused on building deeper expertise in cloud and data engineering, with AWS Data Engineer certification and full-time opportunities as my next steps.
