Ankit Ladhania — CTO

👋 Hello there! I'm a tech enthusiast with a knack for cloud infrastructure and engineering leadership. Having been on a rich journey across different roles, from a hands-on Software Developer at Zomato 🍽️ to a strategic CTO of my own startup Tripock Labs 🧪, I've got a knack for creating, building, and growing tech teams that deliver. As a Director of Engineering at Park+, I currently wear many hats 🎩. I lead everything from cloud infrastructure, machine learning, to B2B verticals and technical support. Yes, I love a good challenge and solving complex problems! My favorite part? Successfully orchestrating the migration from AWS to GCP. 🏗️💻 I'm no stranger to leading diverse teams, scaling them, and ensuring seamless transitions. Gamification, e-commerce, or hardware RnD, you name it! If it involves innovating, count me in! 🕹️🛍️🔬 Starting my journey as a software developer at Zomato, I quickly scaled the ladder to become a Team Lead. During my tenure, I led the redevelopment of their mobile website, boosting traffic to an all-time high 📈. After Zomato, I ventured into entrepreneurship with Tripock Labs. As the founder and CTO, I grew the company to $1M+ revenue within three years 📊. This venture made me realize my passion for nurturing startups, driving growth, and delivering top-notch solutions to clients. I pride myself on my adaptability, always ready to embrace the latest tech trends and apply them to real-world applications. I have a thing for making technology work for businesses, not the other way around 🔄. Let's connect if you'd like to chat about cloud infrastructure, engineering leadership, startup growth, or anything tech-related! I'm always eager to learn, share, and grow. Let's innovate together! 🚀🌐💡

Worked on 2 major projects and 3 major/minor bug fixes that helped me gain vast knowledge on Java based projects and is used in production and affects approx 1.76 million users every week.
My projects were mainly on migrating configurations from file based Spring Configurations to G2S2 (configuration management system inside Amazon), which would be used by the core APIs that powered Customer Service in Amazon, so it had to be flexible, robust and simple to understand. The other project was on writing Integration tests for major APIs in Concessions Service.
