Backend systems & distributed architecture BUILDING WHAT SCALES.
I'm Sumit Chauhan, a
Software Engineer.
I design and build services that stay fast and predictable under load.
The engineer
behind the systems.
Computer Science undergrad at NIT Jalandhar (Batch of 2026), deeply focused on Backend Systems & Distributed Architectures.
I've built AI workflow engines like Weaveflow and production-grade detection platforms like DeepTrace. I actively contribute to open-source — Google's Gemini CLI and the CNCF OpenTelemetry project — with 50+ merged PRs. Beyond the keyboard, I'm an avid chess player, applying strategic thinking to system design.
Domains I
work in.
Selected
Projects.
Weaveflow
An AI workflow orchestration platform for multi-step AI pipelines, enabling complex automation through distributed microservices.
- Designed microservice-based backend enabling distributed workflow execution
- Implemented REST APIs and service integrations between workflow components
- PostgreSQL relational model for workflow state persistence
- CI/CD pipelines via GitHub Actions for automated builds
DeepTrace
Production-grade AI image detection SaaS — dual-stream CNN + FFT frequency-domain architecture with Grad-CAM explainability, full JWT auth, RBAC, and admin analytics dashboards.
- Dual-stream CNN + FFT architecture achieving 96.8% detection accuracy at 180ms inference
- Grad-CAM heatmap overlay for model explainability and auditability
- JWT-based auth with role-based access control and admin user management
- Dockerized FastAPI + React 18 stack with PostgreSQL and async workers
