Ashutosh Mohan
I am a generalist with strong problem solving and analytical stills. I’ve worked as a part of founding engineering teams at two Accel-funded startups where I translated business problems into tech solutions, iterating quickly to release a product, and evolving a small engineering team around it. I’ve built web and mobile apps (including an AR app) and bootstrapped products ranging from e-commerce platforms, gamification and simulation to a tool that helps visualize mathematical equations representing dynamical systems.
I've also dabbled as a film writer contributing to Film Companion South where I was part of the editorial team. Link to author page.
The following is a brief overview of projects I've worked on. Here's a detailed resume.
