About Me
About me 👨💻
Hi! I’m Sailesh. I am a builder 🛠️, a competitive badminton player 🏸, a K-drama binge-watcher 📺, a snowboarder 🏂, a traveler ✈️, and a cat dad to three very spoiled cats 🐱. I care deeply about making technology that actually helps people, not just ships features.
As a product-focused software engineer, I specialize in building full-stack applications that solve real problems for real users. I’ve spent 3 years shipping products used by 50,000+ people, and my best work has always been at the intersection of engineering and product: talking to users, writing specs, prioritizing roadmaps, and figuring out what to build next.
When I’m not building products, you’ll find me chasing shuttlecocks at tournaments across the US, traveling with my wife, snowboarding with friends, or being lazy on the couch watching K-dramas with our cats.
