Abhishek Khanna
Summary
🤩
RockstarAbhishek Khanna is a pragmatic backend and distributed systems engineer with 8+ years of experience turning ambiguous ideas into resilient, production-grade products across fintech, SaaS, event-tech, and developer tooling. He's been a founding engineer multiple times, shaping 0→1 architecture, shipping core features, and driving rapid customer growth through pragmatic trade-offs and performance-first design. Technically fluent in Go, Node.js, Kafka, databases and Kubernetes, he contributed database integrations to the notable open-source Space Cloud project (adding MSSQL support and schema improvements). He pairs deep systems work with product-minded ownership—improving onboarding, developer workflows, and notifications systems that reduced operational noise for teams. Based in Delhi, he has built platforms serving millions monthly and now experiments with meaningful AI integrations while shipping tools like Catalogkit.net. A habit of "breaking things to fix them better" underpins his approach to building maintainable systems that scale.
