a little back(end)story

hi! i’m aditi — a full-stack software engineer with a background in information systems and marketing, and a deep love for systems that are fast, resilient, and thoughtfully designed.

i didn’t come from a cs degree or a math olympiad. i started in cs, took a detour into business, led global campaigns at wayfair, and eventually found my way back to software with stronger instincts for product strategy and consumer insights.

in marketing, i learned how people think, what frustrates them, and what makes them trust a product. that background made me obsessed with clarity, feedback loops, and removing friction wherever i can — whether that’s in an API, a UI, or a devtool. it also taught me to think like a PM: to zoom out, anticipate edge cases, and always ask, “what’s the actual user trying to do?”

those instincts still guide my engineering decisions every day.

i rebuilt my foundations at Codesmith, built software at the OSLabs tech accelerator, and started contributing to OSS projects like Quell.js , where i explored caching strategies, Redis-based invalidation, and performance optimization.

now, i want to build systems that help people: infrastructure that improves trust, flow, and experience through clean architecture and clear logic.

lately, i’ve been focused on developer tools and LLM infrastructure. i’m building ReasonSaver, a prompt evaluation tool with a scoring pipeline, trace logging, and OCaml-based logic. i’ve also been diving deeper into observability, CI/CD, and prompt correctness, especially how to design systems that are both efficient and explainable.

i care about developer experience, backend craftsmanship, and building tools that make life easier, for both devs and users. i also care about good design, thoughtful UI, and cross-functional collaboration, because joyful, high-trust products are built end-to-end.

right now, i’m leveling up my backend stack (Python, Postgres, Redis, Rust, OCaml), sharpening my frontend + UX skills, contributing to OSS, and studying systems like my life depends on it (because tbh... it kinda does).

always down to connect with fellow engineers, builders, or other curious people!
