Used to run IT for a Belmond five-star in Anguilla. When he's not in a kickoff call, he's making everyone in the office unreasonably good filter coffee.
A small, remote, slightly nerdy family.
We're spread across India and Vietnam, with rotations between the two so we can actually hang out. Long vacations are encouraged — rested people ship better code.
Ex call-center manager for SBI, RBL, Meru and Telemetry. When he's not shipping, he's exercising right behind the office and pretending no one can see him.
Refactors code at lunch. Refactors recipes at dinner. Will absolutely cook you dosa if you visit the office and you will absolutely accept.
Writes Swift like it's poetry. Drinks four iced coffees a day and somehow still sleeps fine. Currently teaching the India team how to make proper phở.
Mocks up your entire app before a single line of code is written. Off-hours she paints, and yes, she'll redesign the office whiteboard again.
Has opinions about Kotlin coroutines and surfboards. If the standup is at 6am, she's already in the water and somehow still on time.
Indexes for breakfast. Also actually eats breakfast — usually a very serious idli situation. Will tune your query and your life choices.
Used to keep ISPs from falling over; now keeps your CDN from falling over. Off-duty hobby: hiking, plus a frankly alarming amount of karaoke.
Writes TypeScript like she's gossiping — fast, precise, slightly dramatic. Cooks aggressively spicy Indian food and judges your tolerance silently.
Finds the one button no one tested. Plays badminton at 11pm. Has a spreadsheet of bugs and a spreadsheet of biryani spots — both are color-coded.
Asks 'but why?' until your spec is bulletproof. Off-hours she's at the beach, on a scooter, and definitely not answering Jira.
Building our PAN-India multilingual voice LLM. When she's not training models she's training her dog, with roughly equal patience.
Our Vietnamese teammates come to India and our Indian teammates fly to Vietnam. We embrace each other's cultures, work from different places, and stay relaxed. A few times a year the whole crew gets together to eat, chill, and remember why we like each other.
We give the team proper time off to re-energize back in their own country. No guilt, no Slack pings. They come back sharp — and your project benefits from that.
