I'm Rohit, currently an SDE-2 at Adobe working within Adobe Experience Manager, on video infrastructure used at scale. Before this, my path wasn't a straight line: I started as an ML Engineer Intern at ISRO, then moved through backend and automation roles at RoboMQ, ConveGenius, and Software Engineering, before spending close to two years at Addverb building software for warehouse robotics — real hardware-software systems where bugs have physical consequences. That mix of core CS (Java, Spring Boot, microservices, databases) with domain-hopping from space research to robotics to enterprise SaaS gives me a practical view of what it actually takes to break into and grow in product-based companies, especially for engineers coming from non-conventional backgrounds or campuses. On Topmate, I help with: SDE interview prep (DSA, system design basics, Java/Spring Boot deep-dives). Career guidance for early-to-mid career engineers — switching domains, negotiating offers, choosing between service vs product companies.
