Hi, I'm Utukuru Bharath Kumar

Backend / SDK Systems Engineer Focus: Client SDK reliability • Race conditions • Command queues • Idempotency OSS: Formbricks • Trigger.dev • Svix 2026 CS Graduate | Open to SDE-1 / Backend roles

About Me:

I’m a 2026 Computer Science graduate focused on backend systems and client SDK reliability. I enjoy working on the hard, invisible problems — race conditions, command queues, idempotency, and preventing data loss under real-world network conditions. I’ve contributed multiple reliability and correctness fixes to Formbricks, Trigger.dev, and Svix.

B.Tech in Computer Science Hindustan Institute of Science and Technology (HITS), Chennai Graduating 2026

🛠️ What I Care About SDK Reliability: Ensuring 0% data loss during initialization or network instability. Distributed Orchestration: Building systems that handle idempotency and retries at scale. Observability: Closing the gap between execution and telemetry (ClickHouse, OpenTelemetry). System Integrity: Debugging complex race conditions that only appear under high load.
