Summary
🤩
Rockstar🎓
Top SchoolHarshad Modi is an Engineering Manager based in Ahmedabad with over 15 years of hands-on experience leading R&D teams at Odoo, currently responsible for mentoring and enabling 50+ engineers across e-commerce, accounting, manufacturing and BI domains. He combines day-to-day delivery focus—ensuring high-quality software every two-week sprint—with hands-on code contributions and technical design leadership, often stepping in to remove roadblocks by taking small but impactful implementation tasks off his team’s plate. A pragmatic problem-solver, he has made notable open-source contributions to the widely used Odoo ERP (including Indian fiscal localizations, e-waybill handling, Paytm POS integration and tax fixes) and helps keep documentation aligned with code changes. Known for constructive PR feedback and close collaboration with product managers, he balances people coaching with deep domain expertise in ERP systems and integrations. Quietly curious and detail-oriented, he often blurs the line between manager and engineer to accelerate delivery and maintain technical quality.
