Karan Sonawane — Software Engineer

Senior Software Engineer with 10+ years of experience building large-scale, developer-facing web platforms used across high-growth engineering organizations. I focus on creating systems that are intuitive to use, reliable in production, and built to scale. What I do: • Own end-to-end development of internal platforms, from problem definition to production adoption • Translate complex backend and ML systems into simple, self-service web experiences • Build products that reduce operational overhead while improving engineering velocity Impact & scale: At DoorDash, I’ve built and scaled platforms used across the company: • ML Workbench UI serving 300+ weekly active users, reducing experimentation time by ~40% • A unified access platform onboarding 2,000+ users, enabling secure, organization-wide model usage • Self-service onboarding and access workflows that accelerated adoption by 3× • Governance and audit systems that cut manual compliance effort by ~50% These platforms support daily workflows for ML engineers, data scientists, and product teams—helping them ship faster without sacrificing ownership, safety, or control. How I work: I enjoy operating at the intersection of frontend engineering, platform design, and developer experience. My approach is product-minded and pragmatic: clear UX, strong abstractions, and systems that scale gracefully as usage grows. Core strengths: Frontend architecture, platform UI systems, React, Angular, JavaScript, API-driven design.
