About

I’m a software engineering leader and manager with over 18 years of experience leading development of a variety of software systems. I enjoy delivering impact, growing people around me and bringing out the best in them. I have received mentorship and sponsorship from some amazing leaders throughout my career and I’m always looking for ways to help individuals and teams work more efficiently, grow in their careers, transition teams or just learn how to handle a situation.

I have been in many roles throughout my career (Software Engineer, Tech Lead, Tech Lead Manager, Uber TL) and worked across stack and domains (Embedded Systems, Application, Distributed Systems, APIs, Big Data, Automotive Systems). Common thread connecting all my work has been high quality customer centric data systems. I love leading and collaborating and both these have led me to pursue roles that require thought leadership, bringing people together to execute on critical problems.

What mentees say

5 out of 5 stars

Ruchi is a great mentor who is both candid about her experiences and straightforward in her advice. I would often come to her when I needed to understand how to navigate reaching out to external people and handle challenging workplace politics and situations. She helped me navigate a difficult transition period in my career. I am proud to have made it on the other side after accepting an offer at Google!

I really enjoyed my talks with Ruchi. She’s super attentive and shares clear, no-fluff insights about how senior leaders at top FAANG companies think. Her guidance helped me figure out my next steps and kept pointing me toward work I’m genuinely interested in.
