Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolRohan Kapur is a product-minded principal full-stack engineer and founding mobile lead with 13 years of experience building viral consumer products across iOS, Android, web and AI from Melbourne/Singapore to San Francisco. As an early engineer at Backbone he prototyped investor demos that helped secure $80M+ in funding and helped scale the iOS app into a category leader featured in Apple keynotes and topping App Store charts each holiday. He now reports to the CEO and spans stacks—shipping mobile, backend, web and desktop systems while architecting the company’s largest new bets. Outside Backbone he runs Punk House, delivering 0-to-1 artisanal software powered by LLMs for a wide roster of clients and experimental indie apps that have reached top App Store ranks. His background blends rapid prototyping, product intuition and hands-on engineering, with a penchant for building unexpected demos (from servo rigs to reinforcement-learning cars) that capture attention and accelerate growth.
