About Raghav Anand
Engineering Manager with 20+ years of cross-functional leadership experience spanning fintech, cloud, logistics, and retail. I currently lead engineering for platform and enablement at Costco, where I manage teams responsible for backend APIs, DevOps, QA automation, and release management supporting our mobile app.I began my career as a software engineer and grew through technical leadership into product and engineering roles. Over time, I’ve built and scaled mission-critical systems—like payment gateways at Dave.com and logistics infra at Flexport—while also shaping strategy, cross-team delivery, and regulatory compliance (PCI, FedRAMP, SOX, HIPAA).My strength lies in bridging product thinking with deep technical fluency, mentoring high-performing teams, and driving outcomes that balance velocity, quality, and user experience. I thrive in environments that value systems thinking, customer-centricity, and continuous learning—currently focused on AI agents and modern architecture practices.
