Hi, I'm Kshitij Paliya !!
Engineering with Impact
Building systems that scale, perform, and solve real problems.
I build systems that solve real-world problems — from healthcare platforms to real-time collaboration tools and scalable cloud dashboards. I focus on performance, scalability, and clean architecture.
Currently in my final year of BTech in IT at MIT Manipal, I've spent the last few years going beyond coursework — shipping production systems, leading engineering teams, and building products used by real users.
My work spans the full stack: from crafting responsive React interfaces to designing event-driven cloud architectures on AWS. I'm particularly drawn to real-time systems and AI-powered features that push product boundaries.
Full-Stack + Cloud
End-to-end development from React frontends to Node.js APIs, deployed on AWS with scalable architectures.
Real-Time Systems
WebSockets, MQTT, Pusher — building systems where milliseconds matter and data flows in real-time.
AI Integrations
Integrating LLMs, ML models, and intelligent search into production applications.
Product Thinking
Building with users in mind — from system design to UX, focused on real-world impact and scalability.
Where I've Built
Production systems, startup velocity, and engineering depth.
