Hey, I am Abhishek

I am a software engineer by trade. I love experimenting with tech and building systems that make me, and other systems, faster. Over the years I’ve played around with backend servers, mobile & web apps, infrastructure tools, bug bounty programs, security exploits, ML models, document processing systems, workflow engines, and a bunch of weird weekend projects. I am passionate about self-driving car tech, robotics and building AGI.

Lately, a lot of my life has become extremely agentic. I use agents for reading codebases, planning changes, spinning up isolated worktrees, debugging CI, writing tests, reviewing diffs, generating blog drafts, and automating repetitive ops/workflow stuff. The interesting part to me is not just “using AI”, it is designing the surrounding systems so agents can work with context, evidence, retries, evals, and clear failure boundaries. I like building tools that compound my own output and slowly remove the boring parts of software engineering from my day.

Previously, I pursued Masters of Engineering in Artificial Intelligence at Duke University. Before that, I was building the tech for my startup ticketdude. I also worked as an SDE-2 at blinkit (built supply chain tech to enable 10-minute delivery in India) which later got acquired by zomato (India’s DoorDash). During my time there, I worked with multiple teams including Inventory, StoreOps, and Infrastructure. I eventually led the tech team for all things finance while I was there. More on that here.

I am a huge fan of @elonmusk, @sama and @realgeorgehotz. The geohot archive is a treasure trove. During undergrad I won numerous national and international hackathons multiple times such as the Singapore India Hackathon and Smart India Hackathon with over 100K+ participants. I was also a Google Developer Club Lead as a part of which I led the Bangalore community and held several Android app development workshops across the country. I occasionally perform pen tests and vulnerability assessments on backend servers and mobile apps (frida ftw).

I love anime, dark humor, elon’s memes and r/ExperiencedDevs. I am one of the proud owners of an Xbox series X. My favorite games are Cyberpunk 2077 (doesn’t deserve all that hate) and RDR2.

We’re another day closer to building God, have a great day.
