I am a Principal Engineer with 8+ years of professional experience building, breaking, and shipping products used by millions. I am currently working with AmbitionBox (acquired by Naukri.com).
My expertise lies in building reliable, high-throughput systems, event-driven architectures, and distributed systems. Over the last decade or so, I have had the privilege of breaking things across backend, frontend, mobile apps, and algotrading. It's been a fun ride, to say the least. I've had my hands in pretty much everything: Go, Python, PHP, Java, JavaScript, MySQL, MongoDB, Elasticsearch, Docker, Kubernetes, and of course, AI. I enjoyed and led two pods (spanning 15+ engineers) to deliver clean, production-ready software with precision and execution discipline.
Currently, I am working on Building The System that builds the system. Stay tuned and subscribe to my blog for updates on this. abhishekco.de
At the same time, I am learning how to write great procedural skills for AI Agents like Claude Code, Codex, to automate large parts of my life. I am looking forward to interacting with Claude over a hiking session in the Scottish Highlands. 🏔️
Beyond my day job, I love tinkering, doing random experiments with AI, and building toy projects to "scratch my own itch." One of my biggest obsessions is financial markets and microstructure - I run fully automated live trading strategies, including sub-second options scalping algorithms.
