I'm Aditya Thakur, a software engineer and Flutter developer based in India. I currently work on the Travel Growth engineering team at Scapia and previously worked as a Developer Advocate at 100ms on real-time audio-video infrastructure.
Over the past five years, I've combined production mobile engineering with independent product building, technical writing, and community mentorship. I run a 2,000+ member developer Discord community and regularly share what I learn through essays, open-source demos, and talks at conferences and universities.
My engineering focus spans cross-platform mobile architecture with Flutter and Dart, server-side AI integrations using the Model Context Protocol (MCP) and Firebase AI Logic, and product-led growth experiments for consumer apps like VARC for CAT and the SSB Preparation App. I believe the best engineers combine deep systems knowledge with direct empathy for the end user.
