Hello all, I am Shri. Excited to join Plato for sharing my experience and learn as well from others. I am an engineering leader, father, dog owner and an amateur tennis player. During my time at Zoosk, I have grown from IC to a director of backend applications with a lot of learnings while having fun. Recently I joined Snackpass (Series A startup) as Head of Engineering. It is so much fun to work on high impact projects part of a startup.
