Hi, I'm Alok Shukla
$ Python Software Developer
Building fast, scalable backends that power real products.
About Me
I'm a Python developer who loves building clean, performant backend systems.
I work primarily with FastAPI, Django, and PostgreSQL to create APIs and services
that handle real-world traffic at scale. When I'm not writing code, I'm exploring
system design patterns, contributing to open source, or writing about Python on my blog.
