About

Currently an Engineering Manager at Stripe, building the Payments Dashboard Platform team. Previously at Ookla for nearly six years, where I led engineering teams across the Speedtest and RootMetrics enterprise product suites — overseeing data access platforms, connectivity insights products, and a ~50-person org at peak. Before that, I was an early employee at Uber, working on Uber Eats and Uber Wallet. I care deeply about building high-performing teams, creating clarity in ambiguous environments, and shipping products that scale. Open source work at github.com/dhruvarora.
