My name is Padmini Pyapali. I’m a bay area native currently living in NYC.
I was most recently employed at Sonder as an engineering manager overseeing all engineering teams in the core guest experience org. We built and maintained a mobile app for guests and several internal tools (web and mobile) for Sonder’s operations team.
Prior to Sonder I worked at Uber and launched multiple products (Uber Eats, Uber Freight) as a founding engineer and engineering manager.
You can find more information about my professional background on my LinkedIn page.
During my time off, I started a newsletter where I cover topics around productivity, leadership, and engineering. I occasionally share personal stories and book reviews. Many of my posts include original illustrations that you’re more than welcome to save and use.
I’m working on a list of engineering leadership resources here.
