About

Hi there! I'm Karthi. I am a passionate Engineering Manager with over 10 years of experience spanning backend, mobile, and platform engineering. My journey has allowed me to hone my skills in various domains, including a year leading a mobile team and three years spearheading a platform engineering team focused on Notification Platform Service. Throughout my career, I’ve worked with a diverse array of programming languages, libraries, and technologies, including Golang, Swift, Kafka, SQS, Kubernetes, MySQL, and AWS. This broad exposure has deepened my expertise and fostered a strong foundation in distributed systems and technical leadership. Outside of work, I enjoy reading books on personality development, mindfulness, and investment, continuously seeking growth both personally and professionally. Let’s connect and explore how we can collaborate in the ever-evolving tech landscape!
