Summary
Rohan Desai is a Staff Software Engineer with 10+ years building high-impact growth and personalization platforms across DoorDash, Intuit, SmartThings, and Yahoo/Tumblr. He architects end-to-end systems—real-time notification pipelines, templating services, and unified collection-serving frameworks—that have driven hundreds of millions in GMV/GOV and measurable MAU gains. Equally comfortable in frontend analytics dashboards and backend distributed systems, he has shipped everything from Hive-based data extractions to GPT-powered rich push campaigns. He’s repeatedly led cross-functional efforts, authored multi-quarter product roadmaps, and mentored engineers while improving latency and platform SLOs. Early networking and systems experience (Aruba/IBM) gives him a practical edge troubleshooting OSI-stack and infra issues that surface at scale. Based in San Jose, he blends product sensibility with hands-on engineering to turn complex business metrics into reliable, production-grade services.
