Ayush’s professional focus includes drone infrastructure, backend infrastructure, distributed systems, data correctness, performance, and production safety\. At Barracuda, Ayush worked on Microsoft 365 backup systems and saved $12,000 per month through infrastructure and data\-architecture improvements\. Ayush has experience designing concurrent systems in Go, including mutex\-protected state and gRPC communication, and approaches critical production work with a balance of careful validation and fast iteration for lower\-risk changes\. Ayush has used safe deployment practices such as canary rollouts, shadow execution, and large\-scale benchmarking, including during a migration from Cosmos DB to Delta Lake and Parquet\. Earlier, Ayush worked as an engineer at Loshi Technologies, where Ayush learned to code\. Ayush is also interested in backend internship opportunities at Pluto and has asked about roles at TalentPluto\. ## Services - C\# - NoSQL - Microsoft Azure - Go \(Programming Language\) - SQL - Firebase - Next\.js \(App Router - NextAuth\) - PostgreSQL - TypeScript / React - NestJS & Socket\.io - Tailwind CSS ## Highlights - Saved $12,000 per month as an engineer at Barracuda\. - Worked on Microsoft 365 backup systems at Barracuda, focusing on backend infrastructure and distributed systems\. - Optimized data architecture through a migration from Cosmos DB to Delta Lake and Parquet, producing significant cost savings\. - Built experience in concurrency, distributed systems, data correctness, performance, and production safety\. - Used safe deployment strategies including canary rollouts, shadow execution, and large\-scale benchmarking\. - Designed distributed systems for concurrent workloads with efficient state management\. - Built concurrent Go systems using mutex\-protected state and gRPC communication\. - Currently building and operating Learn Taurine\. - Co\-founded Ether Autonomy, which is backed by Entrepreneurs First\. - Worked as an engineer at Loshi Technologies\. - Studies Computer Engineering at the University of Michigan College of Engineering\. - Completed CodePath education\. ## Experience - **Co\-Founder at Ether Autonomy** (2026\-06\-01–present) — Backed by Entrepreneurs First - **Operator at Learn Taurine** (2026\-04\-01–present) — Trying to bootstrap my rent - **Building at Learn Taurine** (2026\-04\-01–present) - **Engineer at Barracuda** (2026\-06\-01–2026\-08\-01) — Saved 12k a month - **Engineer at Loshi Technologies** (2025\-06\-01–2025\-08\-01) — Learned how to code ## Education - Computer Engineering — University of Michigan College of Engineering (2027\-06\-01) - CodePath ## FAQ ### What does Ayush do now?
