Sunil Kumar
Engineering leader with two decades of figuring out how to scale platforms, people, and pizza orders during go-lives. Most recently headed Platform Engineering at Flipkart, with earlier stints at Adobe, MakeMyTrip, Shopzilla, and Nextag — basically, if it moved data or money, I’ve probably debugged it.
I write about the stuff that doesn’t always make it to townhalls — the behind-the-scenes of developer productivity, scaling data, insights, org design, AI adoption, and the quiet chaos of tech leadership. Equal parts structured thinking and hard-earned lessons.
Still more curious than certain. Writing to reflect, rant (politely), and hopefully make a dent.
