Hey there, I am Aditya.
I am a Software Engineer residing in Seattle, Washington. I spend my day time developing back-end services at Abnormal Security and evenings tinkering with my personal ML / Web projects.
I use product strategy and systems thinking to develop scalable, reliable, resilient, frugal and efficient applications that delights customers. I am interested in all things technology, software engineering and product and read and write about these topics. Say hi to me on Twitter or Linkedin!
Work: I currently work as a Software Engineer at Abnormal Security, an AI based startup fighting email related cyber-crime. I have previously worked as a Software Engineer at Amazon, Walmart Labs, Samsung Research and Myntra.
Personal: When I am not coding or designing applications, I spend my time either on Twitter reading about latest startups or watching crime shows / anime on Netflix. I was born and brought up in Delhi, India and like most Delhiites, I am a big foodie. Went to Delhi Technological University for my Bachelor’s degree and Arizona State University for a Master’s in Computer Science degree (Go devils!). Always ready to pet a dog 🙂
Thank you for visiting my website, happy to see you here.

That’s a lot of money for code-generating applications. However, it seems reasonable when you realize Cursor is currently at 300M of revenue. It…
GenAI Systems Need a Zero‑Trust, Security‑First Mindset
A practical mini‑playbook for senior engineers to think about security-first systems – co-authered by o3. Why Security shouldn’t be an afterthought Many Software Engineers treat Security as a second-class citizen when working on a large-scale system design. They focus on the non-functional attributes like scalability, performance, throughput, reliability etc but often miss out on a…
