Senior Product Engineer for Founders & Teams
I’ll be in Switzerland in March - available for in-person meetings in Zurich, Basel, and Geneva.
I’m Krishna - a senior full-stack engineer with 15+ years of experience building and shipping production systems across web, mobile, and backend infrastructure.
I don’t just build features - I design and ship complete systems. From architecture to deployment, from auth and payments to background jobs and email infrastructure, I can own the entire stack.
I’ve worked with startups, enterprise teams, consulting firms, and nonprofits across healthcare, finance, media, and e-commerce.
I also serve as the CTO at Blue Circle Diabetes Foundation, India’s largest patient-led diabetes community. I lead the design and development of our mobile health platform used by families managing Type 1 Diabetes, including CGM integrations, secure health data systems, analytics dashboards for clinicians, and AI-driven support tools. My work sits at the intersection of real-world healthcare delivery and production-grade engineering - building systems that directly impact thousands of patients and caregivers.
I’ve built platforms like Kurrier, an open-source email identity and shared inbox infrastructure layer for teams that need programmatic control over messaging systems.
If you need someone who can:
- Architect clean, scalable systems
- Move fast without creating long-term mess
- Own backend, frontend, infra and deployment
- Think like a product partner, not just a coder
Let’s talk.
