Summary

Rockstar🎓
Top SchoolSash Nagarkar is a founding engineer with 14 years of hands-on experience building systems across the stack, from embedded C firmware and BLE connectivity to Python backends and JavaScript frontends. He has shipped infrastructure and ML-focused vision systems for robotics at Osaro and helped build cloud backend and distributed drone mapping platforms at startups like Ampush and DroneDeploy. Comfortable in small, mission-driven teams, he pairs low-level systems expertise from roles at Cisco and Planet Labs with product-driven engineering at YC-backed Sematic. Based in San Francisco, he deliberately seeks roles at tech-focused startups where tight cross-functional collaboration and rapid iteration turn hard technical problems into measurable business outcomes. An avowed lifelong learner, he brings curiosity that often surfaces in unexpected places—bridging embedded constraints and scalable cloud design to deliver pragmatic solutions.
