Hi, I'm Vivin Anitha Thambidurai👋

Python Backend Engineer | APIs • Databases • System Design
Open-Source Enthusiast | Research-Driven Developer
MSc Advanced Computer Science, University of Sheffield

I build backend systems in Python with a focus on API design, database-driven applications and scalable system architecture. My work focuses on writing reliable services that handle real-world data, edge cases and failure scenarios gracefully.

I am currently developing production-style backend projects while deepening my knowledge in data structures, debugging, system design and distributed systems.


About Me

  • MSc Advanced Computer Science – University of Sheffield
  • Backend-focused software engineer
  • Interested in distributed systems and backend architecture
  • Contributor to backend systems involving FastAPI and SQL databases
  • Passionate about clean architecture and reliable systems
  • Member of GDSC

I enjoy designing systems that work not only when everything is perfect, but also when things go wrong.


Current Focus

I am currently strengthening my engineering depth in:

  • Python backend development
  • REST API architecture
  • System design
  • Debugging complex systems
  • Distributed backend infrastructure

I am targeting 2026 Graduate Software Engineer roles in the UK.
