About

I’m Ayush Bisht — a software engineer who builds the parts of an application nobody sees: the microservices, the APIs, the schemas, and the workflow engines that keep everything running. The kind of work that’s invisible when it’s done right.

These days I’m a backend engineer at Racanaa Energy in Bengaluru, where I design and own systems for IoT infrastructure and enterprise workflow automation — platforms that manage 25,000+ assets across 500+ enterprise sites, with 70+ REST APIs behind them. I care about clean system design, database schemas that age well, and shipping with strong ownership from requirement to production on AWS.

Lately I’ve been having a lot of fun building pipelines — data flows, video-streaming, and image processing, with a sprawling toolbox of tools and technologies — and teaching myself AI, deliberately, as one more kind of infrastructure I’ll need to serve and scale.

I took an unusual road here. Before engineering I spent a couple of years as a senior technical writer, translating complex systems into documentation people could actually follow. It turns out that learning to explain a system clearly is excellent training for designing one — and a lot of what I write here comes from that overlap.

The other half of this site is the rest of my life. I belong to Uttarakhand, and the mountains are in my DNA — they’re where I go to disconnect and recharge. I’ve played volleyball since school (still my favourite reset button), and lately I’ve been chasing perspectives through travel photography.

What you’ll find here, roughly:

• Engineering — backend systems, microservices, databases, and the cloud.
• Craft — API design, workflow automation, technical writing, and career.
• Life & Peaks — volleyball, the mountains of Uttarakhand, and a camera.

If something here resonates, the best thing you can do is write to me. I read every message.
