# Aditya Gulati on Tal

## Headline

Systems & Backend Engineer \| Rust · Distributed Systems · Storage Engines \| Open to SWE roles

## About

I build systems software from the ground up — storage engines, consensus protocols, the layers most people treat as a black box\. I started as a Java backend engineer, then made a deliberate move into systems programming and Rust because I wanted to own the hard parts, not just call into them\. Recent work: bitcask\-rs, a log\-structured key\-value storage engine in Rust — custom binary record format, in\-memory keydir index, crash recovery via log replay, and tombstone deletes\. Right now I'm deep in distributed systems: implementing Raft \(replicated state machines, the append/commit/apply split, joint consensus for membership changes\) and working toward contributing to production Rust infra like openraft\. I'm after backend, systems, or distributed\-systems roles where correctness and performance actually matter — reasoning about failure modes, not just shipping features\. Long term I'm drawn to correctness\-critical storage and protocol/client infrastructure\.
