About Piyush Kaila

I’m an engineering leader fueled by curiosity and a passion for building technology that makes a difference. My journey began with a simple college project to help students find tech events, which sparked a lifelong drive to solve real problems with code. Over the years, I’ve explored every corner of technology—from designing scalable backend systems and sleek front-end experiences to developing mobile apps, leveraging AI/ML solutions, and even engaging in playful tinkering with Raspberry Pi projects.Starting out as a developer, I quickly learned the value of getting my hands dirty and experimenting in real-world projects. That early experience inspired me to dive into the startup world, where I built and launched products that transformed ideas into market-ready solutions—ranging from market research and pitching to turning concepts into growth stories.Now, as an Engineering Manager, I’m focused on empowering my team to push the boundaries of what’s possible. I believe that great technology isn’t built by individuals alone—it’s a result of collaboration, constant learning, and a genuine desire to create user-focused solutions. Whether I’m strategizing on the next big project or getting in the trenches with code, I’m driven by the challenge of transforming innovative ideas into solutions that truly make an impact.Key Achievements- At Monetizemore, I led a team to rewrite a critical ad script, reducing file size by 80% and improving load times by 30%, which significantly boosted revenue- At Walmart Labs, Migration of applications from a private cloud to Azure, ensuring seamless transitions- Built bulk processing pipeline that can process bulk data from supply-chain at scale- At Hike, I developed a new TCP/IP protocol from scratch- Successfully managed distributed teams across time zones, fostering collaboration in fully remote setups- Founded Twiza and Grinions, navigating the challenges of building products from scratch and pitching to investors- Developed mobile apps, chatbots, and implemented Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) frameworks along with fine-tuning OpenAI and open-source models.I can be contacted directly at m•••@piyush.proKeywords: Engineering Manager, Full-Stack Engineer, Scalable Backend, AI, ML, Cloud, DevOps, Agile, Microservices, Digital Transformation, Walmart, Startup, Innovation
