Engineer. Builder. Endlessly curious.

Hi, I’m Aditya.

I like hard problems.
And making things work.

I’ve been building AI agents, reinforcement learning environments, and the systems around them. At Proximal Labs, I built RL environments and the agents and techniques that generate them. My background spans hands-on staff engineering at Zepto, Tekion, and an early-stage startup, leading teams and taking B2B and B2C products from idea through delivery and growth. Now I’m building Compass, exploring motion graphics in stealth, and running a software agency.

I’m exploring my next engineering role and open to partnerships and collaborations.

Based in Bengaluru, building with people everywhere.

Built with curiosity.

Different problems. The same care for what happens underneath.

Building Compass

Building Compass as a platform

How one research engine grew into a shared data layer, an operator workspace, and a place to test competing ideas.

Good ideas deserve
good engineering.

I also run a software agency. It brings together the work I enjoy most: understanding a problem, designing the system, and building a product people can actually use.

Backend and platform engineering, AI systems, or a product that needs an engineering owner. Tell me what you’re building and where you need help.

Currently in stealth

An idea deserves
a better way to move.

I’m exploring a new way to turn an idea into a visual story. Motion graphics that help explain something, with room to shape the result instead of accepting the first render.

It’s early, it’s in stealth, and it’s what I’m thinking about most right now.

Let’s talk about it

It started with a computer in UKG.

My dad bought me my first computer when I was in UKG, the last year of kindergarten. I’ve been interested in computers ever since. Gaming was a big part of what drew me in.

I started coding in college. That curiosity has stayed with me, through backend engineering, AI research infrastructure, and now building products of my own.

The experience behind the work.

From production backends to the environments where AI learns.
