Senior🎓
Top SchoolMenan Vadivel is a founder and mobile-first engineer with 14 years of hands-on experience building native iOS and Android apps, hybrid React Native interfaces, and complementary backend services. As Founder & CEO of Owl Home he blends hardware design, embedded firmware, cloud infrastructure and mobile UX to deliver a consumer smart-home security device, while also contributing to major apps at Life360, Walmart and Intuit. He’s fluent across Swift/SwiftUI, Kotlin, NodeJS/GraphQL, AWS services and front-end frameworks, enabling end-to-end delivery from circuit design to app store release. Known for a strong eye for user experience, he pairs product-thinking with low-level hardware experience (ESP32, Arduino, STM32) that many mobile engineers lack. Based in Toronto, he balances startup leadership with individual contributor roles on large-scale consumer apps, shipping features like Walmart’s Lists & Registries and multiple TurboTax releases.
