About
Hey, Iām Kunal. I'm interested in improving the limits of human performance. I'm a software engineer by training and biology tinkerer by curiosity.
I'm currently living in Brooklyn New York, with my girlfriend Patricia and our dog, Arlo.
I work at Levels, where I'm focused on building tools to help our members understand and improve their metabolic health. Previously, I led engineering as part of the founding team at On Deck, where I built Via, a referral-based hiring platform and Cosign, a peer-to-peer credentialing network.
Before that, I founded Rice Blockchain and competed in D1 track and field at Rice University, where I studied computer science.
Most recently, I've been spending my free time skiing, listening to EDM, playing Beat Saber on Oculus, and learning about things that interest me. I created this site primarily for the purpose of documenting and sharing my learnings.
