About Me
A quick look at my journey, decisions, and how I build things
Who I Am
I'm Vishal Ghuge, a full-stack developer from Pune. I build products that real people pay for and depend on. I founded SPPU Engineers, an ed-tech platform used by students across 100+ colleges, which has crossed ₹4.1L+ in revenue from 3,672+ paid enrollments.
I'm now building Vidyaan, a live training and placement platform for colleges, which won the Best Start-up Project Award at SIT Lonavala's Start-up Expo.
My team also won Smart India Hackathon 2025 as a National Winner in the Software category, at the Grand Finale in December 2025.

- PresentNow
Running SPPU Engineers and Vidyaan, sharpening DSA and system design, and looking for full-stack and backend roles at product companies.
How I Work
The parts users never notice until they break.
Payments that can't double-charge
Every confirmation, whether it comes from a webhook, a polling check or a cron job, runs through one idempotent path, so a retry never charges twice.
Access rules that hold up
Checks live on the server with default-deny rules, not just hidden buttons in the UI.
Systems that recover on their own
Fallbacks and scheduled backstops catch whatever a missed webhook or a failed call leaves behind.
Ship small, then improve
Something that works under real load beats a demo that only works once. Real usage decides what comes next.
Let's build something that ships.
I'm looking for full-stack and backend roles at product companies, based in Pune. If you're working on something real, I'd like to hear about it.
