Software Architect & Engineer · Jugaadu Tech Alchemist · Problem Solver

Seeker of truth, who is on the path to becoming a mystic.

// The Engineer

I'm Abhishek Katyare — an engineer from Pune, India, who has been writing code since college and never really stopped. I studied Computer Science at Savitribai Phule Pune University, taught myself most of what I know through obsessive curiosity, and have spent the last several years building enterprise-scale systems at companies like Globant and Cognizant.

My work spans the full stack — from architecting Salesforce platforms and designing distributed backends to tinkering with IoT sensors and training ML models on the weekends. I believe the best software comes from understanding the problem deeply, not just the framework du jour.

// The Jugaadu

"Jugaad" is a Hindi word for finding a quick, resourceful solution with whatever's available. Give me a challenge, a deadline, and one machine with internet access — I'll research, learn, and ship a working solution before the clock runs out.

I'm not just a coder — I'm an entrepreneur at heart. I've built projects that solve real-world problems, learned to lead teams, navigate failures, and iterate relentlessly. Whether it's a quick prototype or a production system, the jugaad mindset carries through everything I do.

// Beyond Code

When I'm not staring at a terminal, you'll probably find me on a trail, behind a lens, or lost in a good book. Here's what fills the hours outside work:
