Senior engineering manager with 12+ years of hands-on software development expertise
Hello there! I am Karan.
I have been building software systems since 2012 and have a deep interest in mobile. I have designed, architected, tested and managed innumerable projects. I work closely with web, mobile, backend, devops and data-science engineering teams to write highly scalable and performant software systems.
Currently I work as a Senior engineering manager at Samagra.
I spend ~30% of my time writing code and the rest of the time in managing a talented team of web, mobile, backend, QA and datascience engineers. I contrubute to software architecture, hands-on development, research, code reviews & proof of concepts. I also spend time on people management, mentoring, hiring, prioritizing tasks, clarifying requirements, writing documentation & resolving blockers. Coordinating with design, business & product to build features with high impact on the Indian populace is also something I love to do everyday.
Previously I have worked with teams at Gojek , Gopay , Pepperfry , Udacity , mPaani (now LoveLocal) & SKCS LLP .
