Rohit Shinde

I am a software engineer by profession. I have worked with distributed systems, dealing with large scale traffic. I have led a team, worked as an individual contributor, and a consultant. I have worked across multiple domains, with different tech stacks. I am a software generalist, and pick up tools and languages based on the problem at hand.

I am curious by nature, and like to understand systems. Be it technical, sociological, or biological. When not working I read, scroll through /r/funny, or go on walks.
