Mahesh Shivankar — CEO

I am an Engineering Lead at Ridecell with over 12 years of experience spanning software development, quality assurance, and engineering leadership. My career began at kPoint Technologies, a platform-as-a-service company specialising in video creation, storage and streaming. Starting as a QA engineer, I honed my skills in manual and automation testing, mentoring, and building robust testing frameworks. Over time, I advanced into leadership roles, ensuring seamless live streaming launches for customers and managing testing teams. At Ridecell, I transitioned from QA to backend development with Django, applying my technical expertise to deliver high-quality features across platforms. As an Engineering Lead, I oversee feature development and delivery, collaborate closely with customers, product management and design teams, and contribute to feature design. I often act as a proxy for the product manager, driving product goals and ensuring alignment across teams. I am a motivated and emotionally aware professional, passionate about fostering growth in people and teams—helping them succeed not only in their work but also in their personal lives. I thrive on problem-solving, enabling collaboration, and delivering impactful solutions in dynamic environments. My technical expertise includes Python, C++, Ruby, Django, and Django Rest Framework for web applications and APIs; SQL and PostgreSQL for database management; and AWS, Docker, Kubernetes, and Jenkins for cloud and DevOps. I also have extensive experience with testing tools like Selenium, Cucumber, JMeter, Locust, and Appium.
