Hello! I'm Kalpana (Ravinarayanan) Kashyap and I work in the San Fransisco Bay Area.

I believe that the best products are those that are purposeful and that true beauty comes from clarity of purpose.

I started my career as a distributed systems engineer (I have a Masters in Computer Science) and then moved to product management, focusing on data, machine learning, growth and UX. I am also an entrepreneur - I started a volunteer organization to connect elementary kids with middle school mentors, and co-founded a private software research lab which worked for 3 years on research around consumer centric marketplaces.

I have always had a passion for design - design is my hobby and I primarily work on it pro-bono as time permits for non-profits and young startups as an intellectual and creative challenge.
