Sumit Jha

Experienced in building products from the ground up and scaling systems used by over 100 million users. Have led cross-functional teams, managing 100+ engineers across 7 simultaneous projects. Comfortable switching between individual contribution and leadership, depending on what drives the most impact. I focus on strong engineering fundamentals and always aim to understand the "why" behind every line of code. This ensures what I build is not just functional but meaningful, resilient, and built to scale.
