About

I’m Rahul Khinchi. I work at the intersection of developer relations and solutions engineering, helping teams build, ship, and improve their APIs. Most of my work revolves around understanding how developers actually use products. I run technical working sessions with teams, debug issues with them in real time, give product demos, and create the kind of documentation and technical content that makes developers successful. Over time I’ve worked on everything from onboarding guides and workflow documentation to deep technical blogs, tutorials, and customer case studies. Earlier in my career I spent several years in Developer Relations, where I focused on developer education and community building. I wrote technical content around APIs, spoke at meetups and universities, and built open-source starter kits to help developers get started faster. I was also selected for Google Summer of Code, where I contributed to the Checkstyle project and helped automate parts of its release workflow. Outside of work, I run DeCodeCafe, a community that helps students start their open-source journey. Over time we’ve supported more than 1000 beginners through learning resources, events, and mentorship. I’ve also organized hackathons like Hack4India and conferences like GDSC WOW, bringing together hundreds of developers to learn and build together. I’ve previously been a GitHub Campus Expert, Microsoft Learn Student Ambassador, and GDSC Lead, where my focus has always been the same: helping developers learn, build, and grow. Before tech, I was a state-level 100-meter sprinter (11.27s). That same discipline still shows up in how I approach engineering and community work today. 📫 khinchi.rahul@gmail.com
