Harsh Makwana

I design and build distributed backend systems — microservices, event-driven pipelines, and infrastructure that holds up under real production load.

I can build with any stack a problem calls for, but my deepest hands-on experience is Node.js, NestJS, Prisma, PostgreSQL, MongoDB, RabbitMQ, gRPC, Temporal, AWS, and streaming systems.

6+ years in. Currently Senior Backend Engineer at Simform Solutions, based in Ahmedabad, India.

Past work includes an end-to-end, sub-second-latency GPU streaming platform: on-demand GPU orchestration that spins up cost-efficient instances only for the duration of a session and streams live video straight to viewers.

I'm building snapflow-desktop, a screenshot, annotation, and issue-tracking desktop app, using a Claude AI workflow end to end.

Outside of work, I grow vegetables and flowering plants in a small terrace garden — a good way to disconnect after days spent designing systems that move fast. I also travel often; new environments have a way of resetting how I think about problems, and some of my clearest ideas about system design have come from being somewhere completely different from a screen.
