Building scalable systems
and meaningful impact.

C++ Software Engineer at Dell Technologies focused on scalable systems, backend engineering, system design, and technology-driven impact through engineering and community leadership.

Exploring systems engineering, scalable architecture, and meaningful impact

I'm Somayya Avadut, a Software Senior Engineer with 5+ years of experience across Teradata, Toshiba, and Dell Technologies. I specialize in C++ system programming, Linux internals, and concurrent system design — building low-latency backend components, secure client-server systems, and high-performance logging frameworks.

Beyond engineering, I maintain a disciplined competitive programming practice and actively lead the Eshwar Foundation — driving educational impact through code-a-thons, science centre visits, and community campaigns since 2016.

Tech Interests & Focus Areas

Technologies, systems, and domains I continuously explore and build with.

Systems & Performance

C++ systems programming, low-latency backends, concurrent architectures, and performance engineering

Competitive Programming

150+ LeetCode problems solved with focus on graph algorithms, dynamic programming, and system design

ISRO Aspiration

Engineering Principles

Core beliefs that shape how I design, build, and maintain systems

Build for reliability first

Systems should work correctly under all conditions before they work fast.

Simplicity scales

Simple, well-understood architectures outperform clever complexity in production.

Consistency compounds

Daily discipline in engineering practice creates exponential long-term results.

Measure before optimizing

Data-driven decisions prevent premature optimization and wasted effort.

Systems should fail gracefully

Resilient systems degrade predictably rather than collapse catastrophically.
