About Monil Mehta

CS undergrad who enjoys the part of engineering where ideas become real products.My experience spans full-stack web development, mobile apps, and backend systems, with hands-on work across building new features, revamping existing products, and supporting software in production.Over the past year, I’ve moved beyond just building projects to working on live systems with real users. That shift, seeing how performance, reliability, and product decisions show up in real people’s experiences, has changed how I approach engineering. I now care as much about how things feel and hold up as about how they’re built. Spend some time mentoring juniors in their development journey, which pushed me to think more clearly about how I design systems and write code.I’m endlessly curious about how real-world engineering works, from product decisions to production systems. Always happy to connect, exchange ideas, and learn from people building interesting things.

Experience

1. Sde Intern

   Tal - Ai Talent Agent

   Aug 2025 — Present · Bangalore Urban, IN

   Worked across mobile, web, and backend on products used by millions of Indian professionals. Got thrown into real production code from week one and never really left.Spent the bulk of my time on ReadyAI, an AI-powered interview prep app. Reworked core flows, built new in-app experiences, and shipped features from scratch with a heavy focus on product feel, performance, and user experience. The kind of work where you own the outcome, not just the ticket.Contributed features and production bug fixes across the Grapevine app and web too, improving stability, usability, and performance across multiple surfaces. Learned what it actually means to maintain a product at scale, where the cost of a bad commit is real.On the backend, worked on feature flags, application flows, and APIs supporting payments, subscriptions, interviews, and user feedback. Most of that work was fixing and strengthening existing systems rather than building new ones, which turned out to be the better education. You learn how architecture decisions made two years ago quietly shape everything a user feels today.And then the last 3 months were something else entirely. Helped build Tal from the ground up, an AI talent agent for Indian professionals, every screen, every interaction, every pixel, every frame per second. Not many interns get to say they shipped an entire product from scratch.
