Portfolio
👋🏼 Hi, I’m Vrash, a technology executive and leader passionate about building inclusive, high-performing engineering and product organizations. I have 15+ years of software product building experience, 10+ years of managing awesome humans, and 4+ years of manager management experience. I love developing 0-1 playbooks for startups and scaleups and scaling up engineering organizations. I value customer obsession, empathy, integrity, radical transparency, and agency. I believe in the power of small, high-performing teams and the human side of building organizations and servant leadership.
Problem spaces I care about
Intersection of Finance | Education | Advertising | Retail | <Hard problem space>
with technology
Things I’ve written on Engineering Management and startups
- Inclusive agile
- A scoring system for assessing burnout
- Engineering management as a Socratic Dialogue
- Career progression at carwow
- The Engineering Manager README
- Help yourself to better 1:1s
Older but probably needs to be updated:
- What’s your leadership style
- Interview engineers like a Reverse Bloom Filter
- Summarizing Sam Altmans CS183 classes
The note on 1-1’s is also now in a book by Camille Fournier - buy it here!
I am a Co-creator of Engineering leadership London meetup group which grows strong everyday, come join us!. I also used to mentor other engineering leaders on Plato but I have currently paused this because Plato deliberately hides the fact that they are a network of unpaid volunteers, and I’d rather support folks directly.
Important things I’ve had a hand in building

- Amazon ads on websites
- Bankbazaar mobile apps
- Vidyanext Learning platform
