Hey there, I’m Tarun

I've spent my career building things that matter—startups, teams, cultures, and technology that serve real human needs. Through successes and failures (2X entrepreneur, 1X successfully), leading engineering teams, and now as CTO of a healthcare tech company, I've come to recognize a fundamental truth: what truly matters often can't be measured.

This realization is what drives Meaning Over Metrics.

Here, I explore the spaces between data points and dashboards, where the real work of leadership happens:

• Engineering leadership – Building great teams, scaling culture, and balancing people with process. I share the messy, human side of creating high-functioning technical organizations.

• Books & ideas – Extracting wisdom from what I'm reading and applying it to real challenges.

• The art of building – Crafting solutions at the intersection of technology, design, and human needs. Product thinking that goes beyond features to focus on impact.

• Philosophy meets engineering – Exploring how deeper perspectives transform technical leadership. Because sometimes the best engineering solutions come from asking better questions.

I write because I love to, and I hope you’ll find something here that resonates. Say hi, leave a comment, and let’s explore what truly matters—beyond the metrics.
