About Me

Hey! I'm Abhinesh, a Software Engineer with 7+ years of hands-on experience building scalable and resilient systems across startups and global tech companies. My journey began at a fast-paced startup, where I had the opportunity to work closely with customers and own products end to end, from design to delivery. That early exposure to direct user feedback shaped the way I approach engineering: always rooted in solving real problems that matter.

Over the years, I’ve transitioned into larger environments, from collaborating across international teams at Zynga to building high-scale services at Intuit for millions of users. These experiences taught me how to adapt to different team dynamics, scale systems effectively, and balance technical depth with user impact. I’ve worked across diverse domains like advertisement management, localization platforms, and financial systems, each bringing unique challenges that helped me grow both technically and professionally.

My Philosophy

I believe great engineering goes beyond writing clean code. It's about solving the right problems, together. Over time, a few core principles have shaped how I work:

• Collaboration fuels success: Open conversations, shared learning, and diverse perspectives lead to better decisions and faster progress.
• Empathy drives better solutions: Understanding the user's pain points is key; engineering is the bridge between a problem and a meaningful experience.
• Curiosity never stops: I enjoy digging deep, asking why, and sharing knowledge through discussions, internal talks, and community contributions.
• Adaptability matters: Each team and challenge is different. Being flexible and learning from every situation has helped me stay effective in any environment.
