Ashesh Ambasta: Backend engineer


I'm currently Founder and Backend Engineering lead at CentralApp. CentralApp's backend is unique: it has been written in a robust language like Haskell. Additionally, we've used Nix heavily for developer tooling, builds and deployments.


I've worked in dynamic teams at startups and have been part of their scaling up story. My current role at CentralApp has allowed me to architect a large, scalable system from scratch, twice: once in Scala (prototype, V1) and once in Haskell (current version, V2).


Additionally, my work in functional programming has allowed me to realise its benefits of a language like Haskell at a large scale. CentralApp currently automates the hosting of 4000 unique websites at scale. Additionally, CentralApp's backend automates certain inbound operations for our clients, along with outbound data sync services.
