Prachi Gauriar is a seasoned engineering leader with 11+ years building and scaling mobile and frontend platforms, now serving as Director of Engineering at Daydream after senior leadership roles at Grubhub. She has deep iOS and Apple Watch expertise, having grown a single co-located team into a global org, driven modular app architecture, and raised test coverage from the low teens to over 70% while operationalizing CI/CD, SLOs, and A/B testing. Prachi blends hands-on engineering—authoring foundational libraries and driving cross-platform API alignment—with talent development and hiring, mentoring engineers to take on larger technical responsibilities. Her background spans enterprise product engineering at IBM to client-facing mobile work and open-source iOS tooling, reflecting a rare combination of rigorous systems thinking and product-focused delivery. An MS in Computer Science and a history of building DSLs and testing frameworks hint at a preference for pragmatic automation and tooling that scales teams as well as code.
