Tabish Bidiwale

Founder @ OpenSpec (YC W26)

About

I’m a Senior Software Engineer who loves building scalable backend systems, high-performance APIs, and distributed workflows. I enjoy solving complex engineering problems and making things run faster, smoother, and more efficiently. Right now, I’m working in Quantum Computing, but I have a broad interest in AI, robotics, and high-performance computing—basically, anything that pushes technology forward. My approach is pragmatic and problem-driven: I focus on getting things done, keeping solutions simple, and making an impact. Always learning, always building.
