Varshneya Rao is a Chief Product Officer and seasoned full-stack engineer with 11 years of experience building secure, scalable web systems across startups and enterprise products. Grounded in a B.E. in Computer Science from BITS Pilani, she blends deep expertise in the Node.js and React/Vue ecosystems with hands-on architecture work in microservices, serverless platforms, and cloud deployments (AWS/GCP). Her track record spans shipping global real-time products at Airmeet, architecting secure backends at IBM’s MaaS360, and leading game-engine and tooling efforts at Zynga. She’s known for enterprise-grade code, pragmatic security-first design, and a bias for fast delivery even when adopting new technologies. Beyond conventional engineering, she pursues off-beat HCI ideas aimed at systems that understand users better, and she pairs technical rigor with an unusually playful creative streak (writer and longtime contributor to community projects). Currently based in Bengaluru, she leads product and engineering direction while still shipping components as an independent product engineer.
