I'm Ravi Suhag, an engineering leader specializing in building large-scale data and software platforms. With over a decade of experience across startups, hyper-growth companies, and research institutions, I’ve led teams that design systems for reliability, scale, and long-term impact.

I currently work as VP of Engineering at Pixxel, where I oversee the development of our end-to-end earth observation platform. I also run the Raystack Foundation, creating open-source infrastructure for data-intensive applications.

Previously, I worked as VP Engineering at Gojek, scaling self-serve data platforms for one of Southeast Asia’s largest tech ecosystems, and at Center for International Development, Harvard University, where I built tools that enabled data-informed public policy.

I studied Electronics and Communication Engineering, where I built embedded systems and developed an early fascination with how complex systems behave. Over time, that curiosity pulled me into software. Since then, I’ve spent years in distributed systems, software architecture, developer tools, machine learning infrastructure and contributing to open-source.

My work spans engineering strategy, platform architecture, and building high-performing teams with a focus on systems that scale and products that feel seamless.
