Profile: https://flows.cv/rishu

I’m a software engineer with a strong foundation in distributed systems and backend infrastructure, currently working at Cipher Digital. My work centers around building event-driven systems to optimize power cost and maximize uptime across large-scale Bitcoin mining operations.

Technical Focus
I’m deeply interested in the technical backbone that powers scalable systems—whether that’s operating systems, databases, or distributed architectures. My academic background (M.S. in Computer Science from NYU) and professional work both reflect this affinity for complex, performance-critical systems.

How I Work
I thrive in environments with ambiguity and big technical challenges. My strengths lie in breaking down complex problems, leading with clarity, and driving efficient execution. I’m also a strong advocate for empathetic collaboration and clear communication—key traits I bring to any team setting.
