Serial Entrepreneur & Engineering Leader from Pune 🚀
👋 Hello there, digital explorer! I'm Aniket Awati, someone who's been accidentally turning caffeine into code for 20 odd years (and occasionally into companies that people actually want to buy).
🚀 Currently VP of Engineering at Zeotap, where I pretend to understand petabytes of data while frantically Googling "why is everything on fire?" Previously founded AppSurfer, which got acqui-hired by Media.net after we built Android app streaming. Turns out we were just early to the party – Google eventually did it better with Instant Apps.
🎯 Serial entrepreneur is a fancy way of saying "person who keeps starting things and hoping they don't break." My track record includes scaling from 0 to billions of ad impressions per day, which sounds impressive until you realize most of that was just being really good at breaking things in production.
Fluent in Go, Java, and the ancient arts of Android. Can make Node.js handle billions of requests without breaking a sweat.
Making things look pretty on screens of all sizes. I fight with CSS Grid and usually win.
Architecting systems that handle massive scale data and billions of requests. GCP, Kubernetes, BigTable, BigQuery – the whole shebang.
From 0 to dozens of engineers, seed to acquisition, MVP to enterprise. Scaling teams, products, and sanity simultaneously.
Centralized traffic management for modern infrastructure. Because manually editing YAML files in 2024 is so last decade.
A fun family resemblance app that settles the age-old debate of "who does the baby look like?" with the power of AI.
Android app streaming before Google made it cool. We literally invented the tech that became Instant Apps. Not bragging, just facts.
Smart TV gaming stick with smartphone-as-joystick tech. Because why use a boring controller when your phone has all those sensors?
Yet Another ApiDoc Generator for Golang. Because writing API documentation manually is for people who enjoy pain.
My humble Nokia Ovi Store debut. 200k+ downloads proved that people really, really love number puzzles.
Got a wild idea? Need someone to turn your napkin sketches into digital reality? Or just want to argue about whether tabs or spaces are superior? (It's spaces, fight me.)
