Hi, Iβm Krishna.
Iβm a software leader with a strong computer science background. My work blends design, data, and engineering to build products that are effective and intuitive. I am currently the head of software engineering at devolo, where we build innovative networking products.
What I enjoy most is bringing strong technical solutions together with intuitive frontends so customers get a smooth, thoughtful experience. Iβm adept at keeping teams organized and communication flowing, which makes building complex products a lot more manageable.
If this resonates, letβs connect β Iβd love to hear from you.
