Take pride in your craft
Clever sucks. Whether it's a piece of code or a whole system architecture, good engineering is obvious, resilient, and easily changed.
Engineering leader · product builder ·
team multiplier
I build teams that build the right things well.
I'm Hari, an engineering leader who works at the intersection of product judgment, engineering craft, and team health. I love leading teams that value trust, quality, simplicity, and happiness.
Approach
My happy place is supporting teams to hone their craft and own their work.
Solve the problem
When everyone on the team truly understands the problem, you build the right things well. That might mean building to spec, evolving the solution, or stepping back and solving it outside the product.
agile > "Agile"
Agile software development has tons of processes, but it's not one-size-fits-all. Figuring out the minimum process your team needs to operate smoothly keeps development, well, truly agile.
Work
Here's my career at a glance.
Rebuilding a product engineering team
Led the transformation of a two-person engineering group into a full-stack product team capable of owning delivery, deployments, infrastructure, and product execution.
Building software at public-health scale
Worked on a product serving millions of patients across multiple countries, balancing speed, reliability, country-specific needs, and operational simplicity.
Teaching and practicing software development
Started my career as a web development instructor, training adults with zero programming experience to become job-ready developers. Transitioned to the engineering team and paired my academic knowledge with practical experience.
