Sahil Dawka

Product Engineering

Hello! I'm Sahil. Like a fish in water, my happy place is a problem space. I love people and ideas, and have a deep seated need to be useful. My core values are Authenticity, Curiosity and Efficacy, which is reflected in my work, management and leadership style. I'm just getting started on doing my life's work.

Previously I worked at a startup, starting as an intern when we had thousands of users, helping scale to millions and then managing multiple teams over the last three years as we transitioned to being an enterprise-grade unicorn.

At work, I like:

  • 👥

    Building in teams at the boundary of process and chaos

  • 🧪

    Prototyping and experiments for rapid iteration

  • 🧠

    Utilizing empathy and program theory to solve problems

  • ✂️

    Slicing solutions to optimize for value per unit energy

  • 🏗️

    Using domain understanding to architect the system design
