Running Pikachu

Hi, I'm Aditya

Software engineer, DYEL bro, technology enthusiast. Curious about startups, history, space, geopolitics, climate, energy, physics and math.

Currently interested in vector stores, eval engines, and building my own toy systems. I loved space as a child and dreamt of being an astronaut (unironically). I hope to do space robotics one day.

I now wort at Uber eats, where I work in the search team which leverages semantic retreival, store + item / query for retrieval + ranking / semantic ids & near real time features. I spent ~4.25 years at Amazon building systems that power payment selection, payment processing and transaction history for India marketplace. Simplistically, if you've ever paid on Amazon, you have touched code that I wrote. I have spent almost ~0.75 years at a early stage vector search engine company where we vectorise products using embedding models and store their vector embeddings in a vector store to enable search & recommendations usecases.

When I'm not coding, you can find me exploring new music, working out, reading history or geopolitics.
