Sankarshan Mudkavi is a Senior Product Engineer based in Old Toronto with 13 years of experience building fintech, payments, and AI-driven products from prototype to production. He has deep startup and founder experience—co-founding two deep-tech companies and leading product and engineering teams at Paytm Labs before moving into senior product roles and a current position at Passage. Technically versatile, he spans embedded work (kernel extensions, SoC integrations), full-stack services, and ML/big-data initiatives, and has contributed QA/test automation to the widely used NumPy project. Known as a tinkerer who seeks interesting problems and fun collaborators, he blends product intuition with hands-on engineering to ship pragmatic systems. An uncommon strength is his track record of turning experimental hardware and security research into commercial outcomes, including an acqui-hire into Paytm Labs.
