Summary
👤
SeniorKirthi Kumar is a software engineer based in San Francisco with eight years of experience building user-facing products and developer tooling across startups and large tech companies. Currently at Reducto, they focus on frontier product experiences informed by prior internships at Apple, Substack, Replit, Sisu, and a brief AI fellowship at Felicis, where they shipped SwiftUI apps, WebUSB integrations, and dashboard explainability features. Comfortable across front-end and back-end stacks—TypeScript/React, Python, Rust, Swift, and some C++/Go—they have a track record of designing scalable, accessible architectures and reusable components adopted across teams and regions. Notably, their Apple internship produced an MVP Apple Pay verification app that secured cross-team and multi-region buy-in, and they built an internal generative API search pipeline to boost engineering productivity. With an MS in Social Data Science from Oxford and a dual BS in EECS and Business from UC Berkeley, Kirthi blends technical depth with product and analytical sensibilities. They bring a pragmatic, collaboration-first approach to shipping polished, production-ready features that improve both user experience and developer efficiency.
