Updated Profile Summary for Kunal Chitkara Based on your attached CV, here’s a refreshed and more concise profile summary that incorporates your latest achievements, leadership roles, and technical expertise: Profile Summary With 13+ years of full-stack engineering and tech leadership experience, I am currently a Lead Engineer at Meta (London) in the Apps & Gaming org, where I spearhead high-impact, zero-to-one initiatives and revenue-generating projects reaching billions of users and contributing to over $4B in ad revenue. Most recently, I proposed, launched, and now lead a new product line generating £900K+ in daily recurring revenue, leveraging machine learning, ranking, React, and Hack/PHP. My career spans high-growth startups and global enterprises, including roles as Engineering Manager, CTO, Product Architect, and Senior Software Engineer. I have owned full product lifecycles—from building greenfield products and backend architectures to hiring and scaling cross-functional teams across product, engineering, QA, DevOps, and analytics. I am passionate about engineering excellence, mentoring, and driving strategic roadmaps across organizations of 150+ employees. Before Meta, I led the launch of AI-powered insurance platforms at Roadzen and DrivebuddyAI, delivering zero-to-one products in auto and travel insurance, and managing cloud engineering teams. As the technical co-founder and CTO of Look Who’s Talking, I bootstrapped the company, built and scaled the product from MVP to $2.8M in annual revenue, and led a multidisciplinary team with zero attrition. Earlier, I worked in fintech and consulting at Citi, BCG, and Indus Valley Partners, where I built mission-critical trading and analytics platforms using the Microsoft stack, and introduced modern front-end and BI technologies like React, Angular, and QlikView. My core stack includes Hack, Node.js, NestJS, React, TypeScript, GraphQL, Python, C#, .NET, and databases like MongoDB, PostgreSQL, and SQL Server, with deployment experience across Docker, Kubernetes, AWS, and Azure. I thrive on solving complex problems, building products that scale, and fostering technical mentorship. Outside work, I enjoy solving Rubik’s cubes, playing chess and tennis, exploring business ideas, and mentoring engineers. I believe great products come from blending curiosity, execution, and clarity—and I thrive where bold ideas meet real-world impact. Feel free to connect if you’re building something ambitious, solving hard problems, or want to talk tech, teams, or product strategy.
