Backend Developer / Systems Thinker

Sai Kannadkar

I am a Computer Science student at Sandip University, Nashik, focused on backend systems, clean architecture, and autonomous systems.

I care about building things that actually work: production-grade, maintainable, and well-thought-out. From drone mission frameworks to self-hosted infrastructure, I prefer to understand systems deeply rather than skim the surface.

Beyond code, I lead communities, organize large-scale technical events, and build automation pipelines that save real time for real people.
