Hello World

This is our first blog post.

Hey there! Welcome to My Tech Hangout 🎉

Hi! I’m Sidhant Goyal—your go-to tech buddy, startup explorer, and code tinkerer. If you're someone who loves geeking out about backend engineering, AI, infrastructure hacks, or just cool tech stuff, you’ve landed in the perfect corner of the internet. Let’s keep things casual, fun, and maybe a little nerdy. 😄

A Little About Me

Currently, I’m working as a Tech Lead with YC startups 🦄, helping them build scalable systems, streamline processes, and, let’s be honest, smash some bugs along the way. It’s been an exciting ride—full of late-night deploys, problem-solving marathons, and high-fives over Slack (and sometimes IRL).

Before this, I wore many hats:

🎯 American Express – Spearheaded India Data Localization & Card Tokenization.
🚀 Junio – Designed microservices, implemented CI/CD pipelines, and managed AWS magic.
🤖 OttonomyIO – Played with robots and AI to make autonomous delivery cool.

I’m also big on open-source contributions! You can find my tech experiments, side projects, and fun coding challenges on my GitHub. For the full story, head over to my LinkedIn or check out my personal website.

Why This Blog?

You know how tech sometimes feels like an endless maze of buzzwords and jargon? Yeah, me too. This blog is my way of making sense of it all and sharing those “aha!” moments with you. Think of it as a cozy space where we decode tech together—minus the formalities. 🤝

📂 Backend Tales – Stories and tips from building systems that actually work (and don’t wake you up at 3 AM).
🧠 AI & LLM Insights – Breaking down how machines "think" and what we can make them do.
🌐 Infrastructure Hacks – Simplifying cloud setups, deployment strategies, and the magic of containerization.
⚙️ CI/CD Chronicles – Building faster, deploying smarter. Who doesn’t love smooth pipelines?

What’s Next?

This is just the beginning! Expect deep dives, hands-on tutorials, and a lot of honest conversations about the challenges (and wins!) in tech. Whether you’re scaling your first API or just curious about how AI impacts your everyday life, there’s something here for you.

Let’s make this a two-way street! Got a topic you want me to explore? Let me know in the comments, drop me a message on LinkedIn, or share your favorite memes (seriously, I love those).

Let’s Build Cool Stuff Together! 🛠️

I’m super excited to kick things off with a post on scaling backend systems for startups—spoiler alert: it involves a lot of coffee and even more debugging. Until then, dive into my links, say hi, and let’s get this tech party started. 🎊
