Kiran Methuku

Hey! I'm Kiran.

I'm a web developer with a user-driven mindset.
I design and build robust applications that are engaging and intuitive to navigate. Above all, I believe in delivering value continuously by shipping fast, quality code 🚀.
I believe the best engineers are multidisciplinary. On top of my technical skills, I have proven experience in market research, project management, and client relations and have managed multinational market research projects. Armed with thorough, actionable research findings, my team's Fortune 500 clients have been able to confidently launch products around the world.
When I'm not programming, I enjoy baking (I make the world's best sugar-free chocolate chip cookies, guaranteed 🍪) and reading. Some of my favorite books include Ender's Game and The Graveyard Book.
