Chetan Agrawal — Software Engineer

I am a technology hacker and love working with JavaScript. Currently I lead the CX Engineering initiatives at Notion. Before this, was leading the Visualization related initiatives in ThoughtSpot. Outside of work, I also spend time mentoring people and consulting with start ups. I was cofounder of a company around sports and fitness domain, named Sportzify. Here, I took care of the product roadmap and development for the web and mobile platforms, along with customer support & backend operations. At times, I also assume the business development roles and close deals with potential corporate clients. Before this, I have also worked with CK-12 Foundation, which is a non-profit organisation based in Silicon Valley in the domain of education and is trying to innovate around delivering education freely to the world in the most engaging manner for both students and teachers. My role was to create and maintain new features around the tech ecosystem in all backend, frontend and mobile app. At Amazon, I worked in Amazon.com subsidiary named MyHabit.com. The team I worked with is the complete owner of the e-commerce platform and my role was to solve problems in both backend and frontend pieces of the code. In my free time I play guitar and my harmonica and sometimes sing too. It would be easy to make out that I love food by my appearance. I also like to learn things by doing it in form of mini projects. I also have developed an itch to read and write poetries. Follow my blog to catch me doing all that stuff.
