Top SchoolKhushkaran Bajwa is an engineering leader and co-founder with 12 years of experience building platform-centric products, scaling teams, and launching revenue-generating offerings in fast-paced startups and scale-ups. He has driven multi-million pound product launches and platform reliability improvements at Carwow and Canary, while also founding Nishaani, the first Sikh streaming platform, which he scaled to paying subscribers and £85k+ revenue.

Technically fluent across integrations, mobile rewrites and backend-for-frontend architectures, he combines hands-on execution with people leadership—mentoring engineers to promotions and new management roles. He’s curious about AI-assisted engineering productivity and often shares lessons from building in public via his Medium blog. Based in Derby and open to senior engineering leadership or mission-driven platform challenges (UK or remote), he brings founder grit and a community-first product sensibility.
