Hey 👋 there, viewers 👀!
I am Jayanth Kumar 
Currently building best in class intelligence solutions for real estate and capital markets stakeholders at Turl Street Group. I am a published poet, a technical architect, an entrepreneur, an angel investor, an engineering leader and even, an assistant professor too, basically a Polymath.
I earned my bachelor’s degree from IIT Bombay and my master’s degree from University of California Los Angeles in Computer Science departments. I formerly held the positions of software engineer at SAP SE, Germany and SAP Labs, Silicon Valley. Later, as an entrepreneur, I held the positions of Head of Engineering at Goodhealthapp, Engineering Manager at Delhivery, and later as Software Development Manager at Amazon India, as one of the youngest Engineering Leader in a FAANG. These challenging experiences made me grow not just into Technology but also, into People, Processes and Product leadership.
I always seek to challenge myself with new learning opportunities and focus on building robust mechanisms and systems, which will stand the test of the time.
Subscribe to my website to listen to my talks and interviews about my AI vision for India and humanity, read my book System Design on AWS or System Manifesto or read my poetry anthology - Gonzo Poet and through his lens or follow my blog - Technopreneurial Treatises for more engineering and entrepreneurial philosophical content.
You can book a 1:1 call or ask any queries you may have on my email. Whether you need help with my areas of expertise or just want to chat about anything, I’m available.
See you around 🎩
