Go Banking Backend
FEB–MAR 2026Account management and money-transfer APIs, built around PostgreSQL transactions, token authentication, and asynchronous jobs. REST and gRPC clients share one service.
Hey, I’m Shivam.
Software engineer.
Building backends and beyond.
I’m a software engineer building backend services and full-stack products with Go (Golang). I build APIs, work with databases, deploy services with Docker, Kubernetes, and AWS, and connect backend systems to interfaces people can use.
Previously, I was a Software Development Engineer at Galaxy.ai / Magica, where I helped build an application from the ground up. It reached 250K+ downloads across app stores in eight months. I worked on reliability, server-driven features, caching, and production API integrations.
I’m currently building Zorvix, a project focused on apps and websites. Alongside that, my personal projects explore Go services, authentication, and full-stack development with Next.js.
I graduated in Computer Science and Engineering from IIIT Dharwad in 2025. I also enjoy problem solving: LeetCode Knight, rated 1910, with 1,200+ problems solved across competitive programming platforms.
I’m exploring software engineering opportunities. If you’re building something interesting, let’s talk.

DWARKA, DELHI
DWARKA, DELHI
Led end-to-end development of a production application, working with backend and product teams on APIs, data flows, and cross-platform features.
- 250K+ downloads in eight months. 200K+ on Google Play and 50K+ on the App Store, with a 4.2 rating across 648+ reviews.
- Crash rate reduced from 2.5% to 0.2%. Improved reliability through performance monitoring and targeted debugging.
- Feature updates without new app releases. Implemented a server-driven architecture for dynamic features and layouts.
- 40% less gallery loading overhead. Added local database caching and pagination, including for unstable networks.
Also automated scheduled package updates and repeatable engineering tasks with GitHub Actions.

A milestone, shared.
My post from the Galaxy.ai journey: reaching 100K+ installs in six months.
“From 0 to 100K+ installs in just 6 months!”
We started building the Galaxy.ai app in February 2025. It crossed 50,000+ Google Play downloads in four months and doubled to 100,000+ installs two months later.
In this post, I shared what it meant to help build the app from the beginning and see it reach users around the world.
