Aditya Peela

co-founder & chief technology officer @ BugBaseBugBase

I don't have many interests outside of building things. Writing code, designing systems, making difficult architecture decisions — it's the only thing I'm genuinely good at.

I dropped out of my BTech at Manipal in 2021 because waiting felt like the wrong answer. Since then, I've been building full-time.

Four years in, I've learned that most hard technical problems aren't actually technical. They're about how you decompose the problem, who you put in the room, and how fast you're willing to kill your own bad ideas.

I build across the stack—frontend, backend and design, API design, deployment pipelines—because staying in one layer means missing how the pieces actually interact.

Right now I'm obsessed with the intersection of AI and security — specifically what breaks when you put an LLM in an autonomous loop with real systems. The attack surfaces are strange and underexplored. That's where I want to spend the next decade.

If you're working on hard problems, building tools, or rethinking modern engineering—let's talk.
