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.

Hobbies

Outside of work, I 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'm based in Bangalore, India, and split my time between here and my second home in Hyderabad.
