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’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.
