Senior🎓
Top SchoolApurva Chitnis is a seasoned technology leader and co-founder currently serving as CTO at koodos in New York, with a decade of experience building cloud-native infrastructure and consumer social products. He progressed from hands-on engineering at Improbable—where he led teams, ran major migrations, and designed platform services—to founding startups focused on infrastructure optimisation and consumer tooling. Comfortable bridging product strategy and execution, he has advised founders as a mentor at SXSW and First Round Fast Track and judged early-stage startups for MassChallenge and MIT Reality Hack. His background blends rigorous academic research (Harvard PRISE, Cambridge) with practical systems work across Kubernetes, Terraform, Go, and multi-cloud deployments.

Outside work he’s fond of pizza, TypeScript, and long beach walks—small details that hint at a pragmatic, people-oriented leadership style.
