ABOUT THE SPEAKER:

Aditya was CTO at Dropbox, leading every innovation and managing the engineering teams. New product development? He oversaw that. Tech ops? He was in charge of that too. He joined the company when his own startup Cove was acquired by Dropbox.

Before that, Aditya was one of the first engineers and Director of Product Engineering at Facebook. Over there, he led the development of core products like news feed, search, profile, and photos.

Key things he told us when he came to The Family:

- Working with people you love is more important than finding the perfect or industry project for you.
