Aashish M. — Co-Founder
I’m a Founding Senior Software Engineer with 5+ years of experience, focused on building and scaling real products in early-stage startups—especially in fintech, payments, and distributed systems. At Thera / Bloom Financial (YC S22), I helped build a US-compliant global payroll system covering payroll automation, payments, compliance tracking, and internal financial ledgers. I owned systems end-to-end—from architecture and implementation to reliability, testing, and internal tooling—and this work directly contributed to ARR growth. Previously, I worked at RudderStack, building and scaling event delivery and rETL pipelines used by large customers. My work focused on performance, observability, and reliability, improving throughput and significantly reducing incident resolution times. Earlier in my career at Paysafe Group, I built underwriting, KYC/KYB, and AML systems for merchant onboarding in regulated fintech environments. Technically, I work primarily with Node.js, TypeScript, Java, AWS, PostgreSQL, MongoDB, Redis, and payment platforms like Stripe. I’m comfortable operating across backend, product, and infrastructure, and I enjoy roles where engineering decisions are tightly coupled with business outcomes. I’m particularly interested in early-stage startups, product-driven teams, and roles that value ownership, speed, and impact. Always open to connecting with founders and builders working on meaningful products.
