Roopesh Krishna L, Design Engineer

I design it, then I build it, and somewhere in the middle the two stop being separate jobs. 8+ years across ed-tech, SaaS, social and solar, lately on developer platforms, AI agent workflows and LLM-driven experiences. Sometimes I ship the front-end code that carries them.
