Om Balgude — Full-Stack Engineer specializing in Real-Time Systems and AI Products
I build scalable, AI powered products from the ground up. As a Full Stack Engineer, I specialize in TypeScript, Node.js, and Python, engineering everything from real time WebSockets to complex RAG workflows.
Extreme ownership and high velocity are my core principles. I leverage AI tools to accelerate development cycles, ensuring that every feature I ship is fast, secure, and built to scale.
