Kaushal K.

I am a hands-on engineering and product leader.

• I have built software and engineering teams from scratch for several years. My experience is in a variety of verticals including education, games, travel, health and developer platforms (SDKs). I have built mobile apps, APIs and backends using Objective-C, PHP, Python, Go, PostgreSQL, MongoDB and hosted infrastructure on AWS and Google Cloud Engine. I've used various caches, message queues and CDNs for applications.

• I enjoy outlining and detailing technical architecture, defining the APIs and services and helping select the right technologies and infrastructure for products. Owing to a long career in mobile development, I design flexible and extensible client-side models and frameworks to minimize re-factor and re-writes of the code base.

• My strengths are in building a product and engineering roadmap, setting up the right tools, creating and implementing a reliable engineering process.

• I specialize in execution on a founder’s vision and have built scalable products with small and medium sized engineering teams (local and remote).

• Hiring and developing outstanding talent is my passion, I have built the core of multiple engineering teams bringing in key early hires and have zero attrition on my teams.

• I have experience in ad spends, customer acquisition, SEO, marketing campaign management and experience building and refining products based on data and KPIs.
