He has a diverse experience in building software across multiple stacks, including frontend, backend, libraries, platform, and tooling. Aditya has extensively worked with Golang and AWS, and he is always looking for interesting problems to solve, especially in distributed architecture. At Fabric, Aditya leads a backend team of three for the development of revamped Storefront, which integrates with Fabric components. He has led the architecture design and implementation of a modular Golang/GraphQL-based backend-for-frontend (BFF) service powering Fabric Storefront platform. Aditya has productionized the backend service within four months with a lean team of three engineers by clarifying requirements, streamlining processes, managing stakeholder conversations, and setting technical standards. He has also drastically improved the provisioning of backend services at Fabric by creating a reusable infrastructure and CI/CD template using Terraform, AWS CLI, and Gitlab CI. This became the default way to create services at Fabric. Aditya has developed the first fully functional end-to-end checkout flow at Fabric Storefront by integrating modular Fabric APIs. He has also created the BFF technical roadmap by interfacing and achieving consensus with engineering and product leadership across Fabric. Aditya actively participates in design reviews and provides consultation to other backend teams at Fabric. He provides technical guidance to the team by actively participating in code reviews and encourages shared learning by holding Tech Talks on various useful topics. Before joining Fabric, Aditya worked as a Senior Software Engineer at Grab, focusing on implementing distributed tracing across Grab's backend and improving the feasibility of high-cardinality monitoring. He has also worked as a Software Engineer at Works Applications Co., Ltd., where he designed and developed a distributed architecture for generic spreadsheet-based bulk modifications and schema-free ETL from multiple data sources as a microservice, using Spark, Hadoop, Kafka, and Cassandra. Aditya has a Bachelor of Technology (B.Tech.) in Chemical Engineering from the Indian Institute of Technology, Bombay. He is proficient in various technologies, including Golang, AWS, Terraform, Spark, Java, Cassandra, Elastic Search, Kafka, and more.
