Samyok NepalThe Human Load Balancer
Member of Technical Staff at Interaction. Routes all production traffic through exactly one node: himself. While the rest of engineering debates indentation, Samyok keeps the entire codebase upright - calmly, with one hand, before his first coffee.

- engineer holding it up
He carries the whole team. Literally. With his back.
On any given sprint, Interaction engineering splits its time between the foosball table and a heated debate about tabs versus spaces. Meanwhile Samyok single-handedly holds up the entire codebase - shipping the features, closing the tickets, and merging the PRs everyone forgot they opened.
