Mohan KRK

I am an engineering leader with experience in both engineering and product management, known for building and leading high-performing, globally distributed teams. I’ve delivered world-class consumer, cloud-based, and mobile products under tight constraints. My work includes passwordless authentication for Google Fi, backend systems for Google Play Store concessions, CRM tools for Google Play, Gmail Help Center personalization, Chrome OS device health, and Amazon’s notification system delivering over 6 billion messages annually. I’ve also led development on mobile apps with over 150M pre-installs. I believe great ideas mean little without great execution—a principle I carry forward from my time at Amazon under Don Kaufman’s leadership.
