Dinkar Kumar — Director of Engineering
🚀 Engineering leader with 12+ years of experience building and scaling mobile and cross-platform systems for real-time, location-based, and enterprise-grade products. Since 2017, I’ve led development on Mist Systems (now part of Juniper Networks, acquired by HPE for $14B), where I helped build a suite of Android/iOS SDKs and platform APIs powering indoor location, BLE-based navigation, and AI-driven networking tools — used by global clients like Walmart, Disney, GAP, and PetSmart. Currently serving as Engineering Manager II, I lead a cross-functional team of 20 across Mobile, Backend/API, Data, QA, Wireless Engineering, and Customer Success. I continue to be hands-on in Android architecture while driving team delivery, stakeholder alignment, hiring, and long-term platform planning. I’ve worked closely with US-based Juniper and HPE teams, participated in roadmap and architectural decisions, and helped position Mist 3x in the Gartner Magic Quadrant for Indoor Location Services. 🔍 I'm passionate about building high-ownership engineering cultures, scalable SDK platforms, and mobile-first enterprise products.
