Saurav Kothari is a Senior Software Engineer with 11 years of experience building scalable, product-focused systems across companies like Datadog, Airbnb, AirAsia, and Udaan. He approaches work as an engineer first—prioritizing problem definition, business context, and user outcomes over technology-for-technology’s-sake. His background spans full-stack and platform roles, from experimentation infrastructure and session tracking to compliance workflows and inventory reconciliation, demonstrating a knack for aligning engineering with measurable business goals. Saurav emphasizes clear communication as a primary tool to avoid solving “non-problems,” and he routinely bridges product, domain knowledge, and technical execution. Based in Paris and active at Datadog, he brings startup adaptability plus experience shipping large-scale features at established companies. A practical systems thinker, he favors solutions users love even when they’re deliberately pragmatic rather than perfect.
