I’m Aditya Abhas — a seasoned software engineer with ~9+ years of experience, currently at Kotak Mahindra Bank as SDE-3 and formerly at Amazon, working deep in the distributed systems & data-platform space. Throughout my career I’ve: 1. Designed and implemented systems for bulk data ingestion and low-latency high throughput access in production. 2. Worked at scale with key-value data stores and tiered storage services (moving infrequently accessed data to cost-efficient storage, etc.) 3. Published or contributed to patents in the data-storage / ingestion space. What drives me: building systems that hide complexity, work reliably under load, and enable teams to focus on delivering value instead of infrastructure overhead. I believe in strong fundamentals, clean design, and always staying close to real-world performance & reliability constraints. On Topmate, I offer: 1. 1:1 mentoring or consulting for engineering leads / tech leads who want to architect or optimise large-scale data systems 2. Code / architecture reviews focused on performance, scalability & cost-efficiency 3. Deep-dive sessions on system design, ingestion pipelines, storage tiering strategies, latency optimisation My style: I work with you where you are — whether you’re crafting a new system or improving an existing one — and make sure you walk away with clear next steps, not just theory. If you're building or scaling data-heavy systems and want to avoid performance bottlenecks or cost creep, let’s talk.
