I started in 8th grade, nudging HTML and CSS around until a page finally looked the way I'd pictured it. That "wait, I made that" feeling never wore off; it just climbed up the stack. Today I'm a final-year CS student in New Delhi, India who spends most of his time shipping production systems like payment wallets, deployment pipelines, AI-agent tooling. Reade more about my work at pulkitxm.com

Right now I'm working as a Software Engineer at Noveum.ai (which sponsors my AI inference costs) and building API.market at MagicAPI, the kind of work that pages you at 2am if you get it wrong: money, infra, and the plumbing nobody sees until it breaks.

A few things I've built that touched real numbers, not just demos:

• Wallet & billing system on API.market: handles $50K+ in transactions across 23,758+ operations for 1,165+ users, deducting balances in real time on every API call.
• Voucher & credit engine that's distributed $6.3K+ through targeted (email-specific) and public (limit-based) campaigns.
• AWS migration off OVHCloud, from scratch: EKS clusters, ECR, S3, CodeBuild CI/CD, WAF and IAM, all inside a VPC.
• Trace → dataset ETL pipeline with BullMQ workers on Kubernetes, plus the traces & datasets UI (timelines, flow graphs, filters) that teams use to debug and evaluate AI agents.

I try to write the post I wish I'd found mid-debug. Recent ones:

• Git Worktrees
• The Cookie Sync Pattern
• An MCP Server That Writes Itself
• Rate Limiting
• Cron Jobs with BullMQ

→ All of it lives at pulkitxm.com. I also talked through a lot of this on a podcast with Harkirat Singh!!

• Founder & Chairperson, Deviators Coding Club (2024-25): built an independent college coding club from zero and ran workshops, events, and a 36-hour hackathon for 350+ people. We introduced a coding culture to a college that was purely academics-focused.
• ICPC Amritapuri 2023 regionalist.
• Gurugram University Ideathon winner with wanderAI (got an award from the CM of Haryana for this :) )
