Summary

Senior🎓
Top SchoolAshesh Ambasta is a Senior Software Engineer II based in Ghent with 13 years of experience building reliable, high-throughput backends and distributed systems. A functional-programming specialist who began in Standard ML, he founded and led CentralApp’s engineering efforts—architecting and shipping two backend rewrites (Scala then Haskell) that now serve millions of API requests per hour. He combines hands-on implementation (Haskell, Scala, Nix, JVM ecosystems) with operational ownership across deployments, performance tuning and onboarding practices that favor rigor over headcount. Comfortable making bold tech choices in startup contexts, he’s demonstrated that strong type systems and functional design can reduce maintenance effort and improve team focus. Now at HubSpot’s Haskell data-sync team, he continues to apply language-driven correctness to large-scale problems while mentoring engineers new to rigorous functional tooling.
