Narendra Sisodiya — Software Engineer

Narendra Sisodiya is a Principal/Staff Software Engineer, Architect, and Engineering Manager with 16+ years of experience building and scaling B2B SaaS products across startups and enterprises. He specializes in end-to-end engineering of complex systems—owning everything from frontend architecture and distributed backend services to cloud infrastructure, CI/CD, and production operations. His work style blends deep technical craftsmanship with a product-first mindset, enabling teams to ship reliably while maintaining clean architecture and long-term system health. Across his career, Narendra has taken products from zero to scale in roles spanning UI Architect, Principal Engineer, Technical Manager, and Founder/CTO. He has repeatedly built complete applications single-handedly—covering backend, frontend, mobile apps, DevOps, automation, and developer tooling—while also leading and mentoring teams of up to 14 engineers. Known for setting high engineering standards, he establishes strong foundations early: pragmatic architecture, reusable components, robust CI/CD pipelines, and disciplined code review culture that improves both delivery speed and maintainability. In the current era, Narendra applies AI with a practical, engineering-first approach. He uses Firebase AI Studio for rapid prototyping, integrates LLM APIs into production systems, and builds custom GPT workflows and automations to improve developer productivity, internal tooling, and product workflows. His focus is always on reliability, cost awareness, guardrails, and maintainable architecture—turning AI into an operational advantage rather than a buzzword. An IIT Delhi alumnus and long-time open-source contributor, Narendra is the creator of SVG-Edit, a widely recognized in-browser SVG editor. He continues to build, learn, and adapt—bringing startup agility, architectural depth, and leadership maturity to teams that value ownership, engineering excellence, and thoughtful use of modern technology.
