Shiv Shankar Tiwari

Senior Engineering Manager & Technical Architect

I transform startup ideas into enterprise-grade products serving millions of users. My passion ignited when I built my first mobile app at 19, and I've been scaling engineering teams and products ever since.

Professional Summary

I caught fire coding when I was 19, and I've been building mobile and web applications that serve millions of users ever since. My journey started with a simple Android app that I built to solve a problem I had, and it grew into a passion for creating products that make a real difference.

Today, I lead engineering teams at fast-growing startups, specializing in React Native, Flutter, and Node.js. I've architected systems that process $100M+ in transactions, reduced deployment times by 90%, and built teams that consistently deliver high-quality products.

When I'm not coding, you'll find me mentoring developers, contributing to open-source projects, or exploring the latest in mobile development. I believe great engineering is about solving real problems with elegant solutions, and I'm always excited to connect with others who share that passion.
