Hi, I am Rahul Dhar 👋
I am a software engineer with experience building large-scale systems at companies like Wayfair, Freshworks and Superset. Over the years, I have worked across backend engineering, system design, and architecture.
This Newsletter is where I share what I have learned (and continue to learn) in my journey:
Career Growth: Insights on navigating career transitions, from building strong technical depth to taking on leadership and ownership.
System Design: Practical breakdowns of real-world architectures, design trade-offs, and decision-making.
Deep Dives: Detailed explorations into databases, performance tuning, rule engines, and other backend challenges.
I write with the goal of keeping things practical, clear, and experience-driven, the kind of material I wish I had earlier in my career.
If you are someone who is curious about growing as an engineer, scaling systems, or understanding the “why” behind technical decisions, you will feel right at home here.
