Tarun Atrey is a seasoned software engineer and founder with 12 years of experience building low-latency media, graphics, and payments systems; he now co-founded Gaman to reimagine travel with AI. He brings deep backend expertise from Meta’s Messaging Payments and Novi teams—shipping WhatsApp Payments across India and Brazil and building on/off ramps for a blockchain wallet—paired with earlier work on GPU-accelerated video codecs and cloud gaming at Intel and CiiNOW. Comfortable in both research-driven and product-first environments, Tarun has a track record of delivering high-performance, network-sensitive systems for consumer-scale products. Based in Ahmedabad, he blends USC graduate training with hands-on systems engineering and a founder’s appetite for product-market fit, often surfacing non-obvious optimizations from lower-level performance work to drive better user experiences.
