Hi, I’m Rohit shukla. I’m a full-stack software engineer based in Chennai, India, and Code with Rohit is where I write down what I learn building production software.
I started this blog after spending too many hours stitching together half-finished tutorials, vendor docs, and Stack Overflow answers just to ship one feature. The internet has a lot of AI and backend content, but most of it stops before the part that actually matters: getting it to work in production, on real systems, with real constraints.
That’s the gap I write into.
What this blog covers
Code with Rohit focuses on four areas:
- AI and LLMs: practical guides on agents, RAG, MCP, fine-tuning, and the tools developers actually use day to day
- Machine learning in production: MLOps, deployment, evaluation, and the engineering side of ML that gets ignored in most ML courses
- Backend engineering: Go, gRPC, microservices, system design, and the production patterns that don’t make it into “hello world” tutorials
- DevOps and cloud: CI/CD, observability, Kubernetes for AI workloads, and the infrastructure that holds it all together
If a topic helps a developer ship a real thing, it belongs here. If it’s just theory, I leave it to other sites.
Why I write this
Three reasons, in order:
- Writing forces me to learn properly. Half-knowing a topic falls apart the moment you try to explain it. Writing tutorials is the quickest way I’ve found to expose what I don’t actually understand.
- Most online tutorials skip the hard parts. The setup, the gotchas, the “this works on a Mac but breaks on Linux” footnotes. Those are the things that take real engineers hours to debug, and I try to put them upfront.
- I want to give back to a community that taught me everything. Almost everything I know came from someone else’s blog post, GitHub repo, or open-source project. This is my small way of paying it forward.
My background
I’ve been writing software professionally for over three years. My day-to-day involves AI and backend systems built in Go and Python, with bits of Angular and gRPC. I work with cloud infrastructure (AWS, GCP), and I’ve shipped production ML pipelines, AI agents, and the unglamorous internal tools that hold real businesses together.
I’m not a researcher or an academic. Everything on this blog comes from work I’ve actually done or problems I’ve actually solved.
How to use this blog
Every tutorial here aims to:
- Show working code, not pseudocode
- Explain the why behind each step, not just the what
- Be tested before publishing (no copy-paste-from-docs posts)
- Include the gotchas I hit along the way
If you find an error, a better approach, or just disagree with how I framed something, tell me. Engineering writing only gets better when readers push back.
