Hello! I'm Rachit 👋

I'm a passionate software developer currently pursuing my Master's in Computer Science at Northeastern University. With over 2 years of professional experience, I specialize in building scalable full-stack applications and cloud-based solutions.

My journey in tech began during my Bachelor's in Computer Engineering at Gujarat Technological University, where I developed a strong foundation in computer science fundamentals. Since then, I've had the privilege of working at Krish Technolabs, where I engineered enterprise solutions processing 150M+ records and built event-driven data pipelines that improved system efficiency by 35%.

Currently, I serve as a Teaching Assistant for Database Management Systems at Northeastern University, where I mentor 300+ students and help them master SQL, database design, and normalization concepts. This role has strengthened my communication skills and deepened my understanding of database architectures.

I'm particularly passionate about building systems that scale, optimizing performance, and creating intuitive user experiences. Whether it's architecting microservices, fine-tuning NLP models, or designing RESTful APIs, I love tackling complex technical challenges.
