Hi, I'm Prince Kumar
Building scalable backend systems and IoT platforms. 3+ years shipping production Python at Onemind Services.
About Me
Passionate about systems that scale
I'm a backend engineer based in Gurugram with 3+ years building production systems in Python. My day-to-day involves architecting Django/FastAPI services, wrangling time-series IoT data at scale, and keeping distributed systems running reliably.
Outside of work, I contribute to NetBox — an open-source network infrastructure tool — and build DevOps learning resources to help other developers get hands-on with Docker and Kubernetes. I am currently also learning frontend technologies.
