About

Hello there, I'm Ravigopal 👋🏻

A software engineer with over a decade of professional experience on building products for the web, mobile, and establishing engineering culture. I've spent most of that time working at startups and helping them scale from 0-> 1.

As a design generalist, I love getting involved in the whole lifecycle of a product—from talking to customers, writing specifications, visual design, user experience to building the product.

As a product engineer, I have the unique ability to bridge the gap between design and implementation and build maintainable, fast and accessible interfaces.

I live and work by my values—integrity, inclusion, radical candor and a people-first approach. I like to think about problems from first principles and focus on the impact and ethics of my work; trying to leave the world a better place than I found it.

See what I'm up to now.

Hobbies

Outside of work, I'm enjoy clicking photographs, going on bike rides and painting on paper/screen.

I've started running quite some time back and enjoying the pain and joy that comes with it.

I currently live in 🇦🇪Abu Dhabi, frequenting my second home—🇮🇳 Bangalore.
