About Shiva Taramani
I’m a hands-on engineering leader who loves building high-performing teams and solving real-world problems through software. Most recently, I was the Director of Engineering at UserTesting, leading teams across product engineering and quality to build scalable, high-quality systems that power a great user experience.Beyond just writing and shipping code, I care deeply about mentorship, coaching, hiring, and creating the right environment for people to do their best work. I’ve helped teams grow, improved engineering processes, and driven initiatives around career growth, learning & development, and technical strategy.Right now, I’m exploring what’s next while working on a side project to build a SaaS product. I’m always up for chatting about engineering leadership, product development, or new opportunities. Please feel free to reach out!
