I'm a backend & distributed systems developer who enjoys understanding how systems work end-to-end, not just shipping features.
I've worked across frontend, backend, and infrastructure, and I currently focus on backend systems and large open-source codebases where correctness, determinism, and maintainability matter.
const aditya = {
focus: "Backend Systems & Distributed Architecture",
values: [
"Reading production code over tutorials",
"Debugging and tracing as core engineering skills",
"Small, correct changes that compound over time"
],
currentlyDoing: "Contributing to production OSS & learning Rust",
askMeAbout: ["Go", "Systems Design", "API Architecture", "Open Source"]
};
I actively contribute to production-grade open-source projects.

Prefer depth over surface-level speed |
Trace systems before modifying them |
Treat tests and reviews as part of the product |
Core Principles:
- Optimize for long-term maintainability
- Assume someone else will read this code later
- Small, correct changes compound over time
