Hi, I'm Omkar šŸ‘‹

22 year old Software Engineer at NiCE Ltd. I enjoy backend, data engineering, and building things that touch real systems ā€” from event-driven cloud pipelines to RAG packages.

About

I'm a Software Engineer and Full-Stack Developer working on backend systems in C#, where I optimize application logic, debug distributed workflows, and build scalable document ingestion pipelines on cloud infrastructure. My interests span systems programming, Generative AI, and building reliable developer-focused tools.

My day-to-day toolbox includes Python, Java, JavaScript/TypeScript, and C#, with meaningful experience across Django/DRF, React, Node.js, Flask, Celery, and RabbitMQ, along with data tooling like Airflow, DBT, BigQuery, and Elasticsearch. Iā€™m comfortable across both application and data engineering ā€” from building full-stack platforms and scalable ingestion systems to authoring BRAGS, a published Python package for customizable on-device RAG pipelines with a Go-based file watcher. I also enjoy exploring lower-level programming in C and Rust to better understand performance and concurrency.

Outside engineering, Iā€™m a passionate reader, astronomy enthusiast, and occasional graphic designer. I actively contribute to open source, participate in hackathons, and speak at developer communities, including a session on Unix file descriptors and PTY internals at FOSS United Pune.
