Rockstar🎓
Top SchoolEsha Maharishi is a product manager specializing in motion, hardware, and microcontrollers with 11 years of experience building systems that bridge low-level firmware and cloud-scale backends. She transitioned from technical leadership at MongoDB—where she contributed to the core mongodb/mongo repo on sharding and serverless features—to hands-on robotics roles at Viam spanning SLAM, motion control, and solutions engineering for robotic arms. That blend of shipping critical database code (including sharding and cache-consistency fixes) and designing hardware/software integration gives her rare end-to-end fluency across microcontrollers, embedded motion stacks, and distributed services. Based in New York and educated at Columbia University (BS Computer Science), she focuses on turning complex technical constraints into product decisions that accelerate robot deployment and reliability.
