about.

I build software that people can rely on.

I'm Sanjay MaliSSaannjjaayy MMaallii, a software engineer based in Ahmedabad, IndiaAAhhmmeeddaabbaadd,, IInnddiiaa. I enjoy turning complex ideas into fast, scalable, and maintainable software. My work mostly revolves around backend engineering, but I enjoy contributing across the entire product—from database design and APIs to frontend experiences and cloud infrastructure.

Over the past few years, I've built authentication systems, GraphQL APIs, recommendation engines, payment integrations, admin dashboards, and SaaS platforms. I care less about chasing the newest framework and more about building software that's reliable, easy to maintain, and enjoyable to work on months later.

My primary stack includes GoGGoo, Node.jsNNooddee..jjss, TypeScriptTTyyppeeSSccrriipptt, PostgreSQLPPoossttggrreeSSQQLL, RedisRReeddiiss, RabbitMQRRaabbbbiittMMQQ, GraphQLGGrraapphhQQLL, and AWSAAWWSS. Whether I'm designing APIs, optimizing database queries, or building distributed services, I always aim for clean architecture, thoughtful engineering, and long-term scalability.

One thing I've learned is that great software isn't just about shipping features—it's about making complexity feel simple. Good engineering should disappear into the background, allowing users to focus on what they came to accomplish rather than how the software works.

Outside of work, you'll usually find me building SaaS products, exploring distributed systems, reading engineering blogs, contributing to side projects, or trying to answer the question:

"Can this be simpler, faster, and easier to maintain?"
