Summary
Chinmay Zanpure is a founder and seasoned software engineer with 12+ years building scalable front-end and cloud-native systems, most recently shipping AI-driven products to automate tax compliance. After senior engineering roles at Palo Alto Networks and Juniper, he turned his experience with complex data pipelines and schema-driven UIs toward solving the recurring chaos of 1099 prep, founding Morado1099 to automate field mapping, TIN validation, and W-9 reconciliation. He blends hands-on React/Node.js and cloud expertise with product instincts—having led demos for large customers and reduced operational friction across enterprise apps. Building in public, Chinmay leverages machine learning to turn weeks of manual cleanup into minutes, and deliberately avoids per-form pricing to lower friction for consultants and AP teams. Outside of work he’s an avid snowboarder and strength trainee who also created a workout tracker, reflecting a practical, maker-oriented approach to problem solving.
