Hi, I'm Karan,

I'm an engineer who likes to build 0 - 1 products and assist early stage startups in solving their problems. I work with various technologies across backend, frontend, and infrastructure (React, Node, Python, Golang, Docker to name a few) and constantly seek to learn and adapt to new tools.

Currently, I'm a founding engineer at Custiv, Bengaluru where I lead the product & engineering decisions to solve for manufacturing using AI. Also an avid badminton player (and boxing sometimes) outside of work.
