Gunjit Kumar Dhakar

Backend & full-stack developer | Golang, Python, Kafka

I am a Backend Systems Engineer graduated from IIT BHU Varanasi. My focus is on engineering concurrent log ingestion engines, fault-tolerant event streams, and real-time APIs. I build high-performance pipelines in Go, optimize databases, and solve algorithmic challenges.

Featured Work

Software Engineer

Dec 2025 — Present

Cyclosec // Remote

Golang Apache Kafka FastAPI Socket.IO Grafana pprof

Architected a concurrent Golang log ingestion agent – utilizing Goroutines, Channels, and pprof profiling – processing 50,000+ events/hour with zero data loss and 95% latency reduction.
Engineered a fault-tolerant Golang-to-Kafka pipeline with exponential backoff retries and disk queue backpressure.
Designed a FastAPI backend with Socket.IO push for real-time anomaly detection, migrating legacy polling endpoints to reduce live data latency.
Set up Grafana dashboards to monitor Kafka consumer lag, network rates, and system resources.
