About

Hello! I’m Krishnan Chandra, a software engineer based in New York City. I love building impactful solutions with distributed systems.

I’m currently a Principal Engineer at Ramp, where I lead the Ramp Stack team building agentic products for accounting firms. I previously worked on the Identity and User Management team at Ramp, focused on revamping the canonical invite flows.

Previously, I was the CTO and Co-Founder of Human Intelligence, the company behind SixAI and ResearchRabbit, which was acquired by Litmaps in 2025. This experience was invaluable and helped to hone my skills in leadership and greenfield product development.

My foundation in backend engineering was built at leading companies like Confluent, Reddit, Optimizely, and LinkedIn. I hold dual degrees in mathematics and computer science from the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, specializing in operations research on the math side and distributed systems on the CS side. When I’m not coding, I enjoy contributing to my community through volunteering, and pursuing my love for soccer.
