Engineer a brighter tomorrow

Push the gate

About

The grind, plainspoken.

A grimoire is only a record of what someone practised until it worked. This one holds the arc, the people who vouched for it, and the hours off the page.

I'm Ankit, a software engineer working remotely. I work full-time at OneIT - an Australian software firm - where I've moved from intern to Senior Software Engineer over three years, mostly on backend systems (Java, Postgres), enterprise integrations (MYOB, CargoWise, Twilio, Xero) and AI in production (an LLM-driven test runner I'm primary engineer on; RAG on pgvector; MCP tooling). In 2024 I was named Mid Developer of the Year. In 2025, I placed Runner-up for Employee of the Year - company-wide, across all engineering tiers.

I picked up a Master's degree (MCA) from Chandigarh University while doing this. The two years overlapped completely with my full-time work, which means I've debugged production at 11pm on a Tuesday before a 9am exam more times than I'd like to admit. I'm not sure I'd recommend it - but it taught me how to ship.

From peers

Excerpts from internal peer nominations submitted at OneIT in 2025. Names removed; wording is theirs.

He takes full ownership of his work and is a dedicated team member, ensuring tasks are done right, even when they're complex. He makes himself readily available whenever we need support, which makes collaboration much easier and more effective.

Hills, rivers, and the occasional barefoot walk. Home is flat; the mountains are a night’s drive.
