Abhishek Gahlot
Senior Founding Engineer at Zenskar
I build infrastructure and distributed systems at scale. Over the past decade, I've worked across the stack — from real-time trading systems processing 100M+ requests to AI platforms powering LLM agents and analytics.
Currently leading AI engineering and scalable metering at Zenskar, where I work on everything from Kafka pipelines and ClickHouse analytics to fine-tuned LLMs and agentic workflows.
Previously at Moveworks (AI agents), Automattic/WordPress (data engineering at scale), and HackerRank (real-time code infrastructure). I've spoken at international conferences including ScaleConf, GopherCon, and WordCamp.
