Mohit Ranka

I'm an engineering leader who builds data platforms, developer tooling, and reliable distributed backends. I prefer clarity over cleverness, long-term impact over short wins, and shipping work that scales from one team to many.

My sweet spot is turning fuzzy product questions into pragmatic, well-instrumented systems that survive real traffic and real people.

I've consolidated diverse data sources into a near-real-time platform at LinkedIn, led the web launch of Postman, and built identity and SSO systems at Booking.com.

Some writing from earlier years:

• Superfast lag-free SSH
• RDBMS vs. NOSQL?
• One click website deployment with Octopress
• The curse of the gifted
• What it means to work for a startup
