Karthik Ravichandran is a Co-Founder and CTO with 10 years of experience building large-scale systems across ML, data platforms, and financial infrastructure, now based in Portland, Oregon. He led Affirm’s end-to-end data stack and governance efforts—designing data contracts, eventing, warehouse layers, GDPR-compliant shift-left tooling, an experiments platform, and multi-million-dollar cost optimizations. At Woven he’s focused on developer-first data governance that surfaces visibility and control as code is written, making compliance feel as natural as using linters. Previously he scaled product and engineering at MindSumo, driving 10x community growth and profitable enterprise expansion, and early work at Stanford-backed Prophecy Sciences blended hardware and algorithm development. His background combines hands-on systems engineering with product-led leadership and a consistent emphasis on translating regulatory and privacy requirements into codified, scalable developer workflows.
