# Aditya Sehgal

**Headline:** Professional profile
**Location:** Atlanta, GA, USA

## About

Aditya Sehgal is a backend and platform engineer with more than seven years of experience building services, APIs, distributed systems, and cloud-native platforms. Most recently, Aditya worked as a Staff Software Engineer at Blackhawk Network, where he focused on backend and platform capabilities. Previously, he worked at Mercedes-Benz Research Development North America on connected-car applications. Aditya is strongest in infrastructure automation, developer infrastructure, database lifecycle operations, reliability, observability, and production support. He uses AWS and Kubernetes to support cloud infrastructure and is particularly focused on removing operational and testing bottlenecks that slow engineering teams down. A notable example was building a mock-server emulator for connected-car testing: the work improved test coverage, enabled CI/CD automation, and eliminated cross-regional dependencies while modeling real-world vehicle-response complexity. Aditya values practical engineering impact through test automation, dependency reduction, and faster delivery. He holds a bachelor’s degree in Computer Science from Georgia Tech and has worked across both startup and enterprise environments.
