👋 Hey, I’m Rahul Raghunathan

Engineering Lead who builds scalable systems, AI-powered products, and things that don’t break at scale (hopefully).

⚡ Engineering Lead | Founding Engineer
🧠 Backend-leaning, but comfortably full-stack
🤖 Currently exploring & building in AI

LinkedIn

🎯 Fun fact: I’m always curious about what’s worth building next — not just what’s trending.


🧩 What I Actually Do

I don’t just write code - I own products end-to-end, not just tickets.

I sit at the intersection of:

  • Engineering
  • Product
  • Real-world constraints

I’ve spent the last few years:

  • Built products that generated $500K+ revenue
  • Building and scaled API lifecycle management platform
  • Scaled API workflow engine from 85 → 785 TPS (9x)
  • Reduced workflow latency from 11s → 1s (90%)
  • Led and mentored engineering teams

🧠 Current Obsession: AI

Lately, I’ve been deep into:

  • LLM-powered applications
  • AI-assisted developer tools
  • Combining real-time data + reasoning models

I’m especially interested in: AI that actually ships to production, not just demos


🛠 Tech Stack

⚙️ Backend & Distributed Systems (Core)

Backend

🌐 Full-Stack Capability

Frontend

🧩 Data, Messaging & Infrastructure

Infra

🤖 AI & Modern Systems

LLMs • Vercel AI SDK • Firecrawl • Prompt-driven systems


🧑‍💼 Leadership (Hands-on)

  • Engineering Lead managing 10+ engineers
  • Improved team velocity by 35% by driving execution, clarity, and ownership
  • Owned product end-to-end, from roadmap → architecture → delivery → production

I’m not a “pure manager”.

  • I stay hands-on with code and system design
  • Take ownership of outcomes, not just tasks
  • Unblock teams and get things shipped
  • Simplify systems and drive real impact

📈 What I’m Looking For

  • Product-focused roles
  • AI-driven or developer-first companies
  • Teams that value ownership + speed + quality

I’m open to:

  • Backend / Platform roles
  • Product engineering roles
  • Startups & mid-sized companies
