Pragati Johri — CTO

I began my career journey at Adobe, where I had the opportunity to work on Adobe Illustrator, a vector graphics product. Starting with the desktop version in C++, I later shifted my focus to its mobile app with ios & c++. I take pride in being part of the team that developed the mobile app, particularly for iPad as I was one of the initial members when this product started. This experience provided me with insights into managing a complex product like Adobe illustrator on devices like mobile & ipad with limited storage & cpus. Then I joined Atlassian where I immersed myself in cloud tech and have been working on scalable and high-performance services such as issue search and migrations . Most of the experience lies in improve reliability & performance of existing system and building up new services. I have been with cutting-edge technologies like java , kotlin, aws etc and contributing to products used by millions of users simultaneously. Now I am working as Senior Software Engineer at Google on API Platform that enables developers to produce, manage, secure, and consume APIs and services. My journey has been diverse, from building robust desktop and iPad products and scalable cloud solutions. Additionally, I actively participate in several initiatives that promote diversity, inclusion, and community building. I'm involved in "Women in Tech," "GHCI," "IAmRemarkable," "Diversity & Inclusion," and "Pride" conferences. My involvement in these events allows me to represent my community and act as an ally for those who need support.
