About Me

Hi! I am Kiran Kulkarni. I am a data nerd that believes that you take decisions with your gut and validate with data.

I started my journey as Linux Kernel developer. Later, I built massive scale backend systems in Clojure and big data pipelines in Python. In my last role I was leading Data and AI team. In my last role at Helpshift: I built the team from 3 to 20 engineers, improved NPS from 4 to 25 and built platform that could handle 100K req/sec from 2 Bn devices.

I love exploring street food but haven't had processed sugar since Oct-2023. I enjoy talking about building high quality product, high performing teams, highly scalable architecture and highly informative data & AI.
