KARTHIK M R — Engineering Manager
As an engineering manager, I am passionate about solving complex problems, and creating impactful solutions that improve the millions of users. Currently, I lead the Unified Supply(USG) product group at Gojek, responsible for both backend and frontend experiences for driver partners. This team focus on onboarding, compliance, retention, incentives, preferences, and positioning. My journey in tech had been diverse, I had spent my initial career developing mobile applications majorly for iOS platform(I have developed production applications for Android and Windows platforms). With continuous learning as my core value, I have then transitioned to become a backend engineering manager. This transition not only expanded my technical expertise but also allowed me to lead and mentor teams, furthering my impact in the organization. One of the recent projects I have worked at Gojek was Raven Shift, which aims to increase driver bookings and organic income by strategically positioning drivers in high-demand areas. I have also influenced the team to build the system to incorporate future milestones of the project. Previously, I have also lead a suite of projects that focus on driver compliance to various government policies and to reduce fraudulent cases. This was done by building platform solutions and seamlessly integrating with various internal and external government systems. Proficient in Golang, Distributed Systems, and Cloud Platforms, I have extensive experience in microservices architecture, Kubernetes, event-driven systems, and mobile app development. My expertise also includes database management with PostgreSQL and MongoDB. Leading international teams has broadened my perspective, helping me understand different cultural aspects. My future aspiration is to become a technology leader, innovating solutions that positively impact millions.
