Hi, I'm Sahil Shukla, a proactive backend engineer with over 4 years of experience in designing and scaling high-performance systems using Node.js and TypeScript. I specialize in AI-powered architectures, especially Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) solutions with LangChain and Pinecone. I love building event-driven, serverless systems and optimizing performance at scale. Currently, I work as a Senior Software Engineer at LearnApp, where I architect event-driven systems, engineer WebSocket infrastructure, and develop AI-driven semantic search solutions. I've had the privilege to deliver robust applications across fintech, proptech, and edtech sectors. I’m passionate about writing clean code, automation, and using AI to create intelligent user experiences.
