Avadhut Tanugade
I'm a software engineer focused on building mobile experiences, scalable backend systems, and applied AI solutions.
Currently working as an SDE 2, my experience spans the entire product lifecycle-from building Consumer Android Apps and SDKs, to designing resilient backend microservices that use LLMs, voice AI, and agentic AI systems.
I enjoy environments that require high context switching and ownership across multiple features. Whether working independently or collaboratively with a team, my focus is on quickly getting robust MVPs out the door and scaling them into reliable, production-ready solutions.
Technically, I have hands-on experience working with multi-tenant architectures and dive deep into prompt/context engineering for optimizing chat and voice-based agentic systems.
My engineering philosophy is straightforward: understand the core problem deeply, pragmatically adopt the right tools, and prioritize shipping impactful software.
