Rohin
Engineering leader & builder. Currently a Senior Engineering Manager at Carta, leading AI-native teams behind the products companies and employees use to understand and act on their equity.
In past lives I was an early engineer in healthtech and political research tech, shipping 0→1 products end to end. On the side I write The Engineering Operator’s Playbook.
I have a kid now, and it reordered everything. The stuff I actually care about mostly happens in the hours around him.
I swim in open water, cold and early, which is the one reliable way to quiet my head. I read constantly, usually a few books at once and rarely on schedule. I build things on the side that mostly don’t ship. Engineering leadership is the day job, and I like it more than that sentence sounds.
