Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolAbhijit Gadgil is a Principal Engineer and polyglot developer with 11+ years of experience building systems across Linux, networking, containers, cloud-native platforms and telecom (Open RAN/5G). He moves fluidly between individual contributor work—authoring Rust improvements to distributed leader election and maintaining Habitat—and leading mid-sized teams and founding early engineering teams at startups. Abhijit has a proven track record of taking ambiguous problems to production-ready POCs, from a Rust SDK for ORAN-SC RIC to a Django/React EMS migrated to Kubernetes for multi-tenancy. He blends systems-level expertise (Layer 2–4 networking, virtualization, PKCS#11/HSM integrations) with pragmatic product delivery and security-aware architecture. Based in Pune, he runs hyphenOs as an independent consultant and open-source maintainer, often choosing lower-level, performance-sensitive tooling (Rust, ASN.1 codecs, packet dissection) over higher-level abstractions. His background as the first engineer at multiple startups gives him a rare combination of deep technical debugging skills and hands-on team-building experience.
