About Kumar

I have worked for FamPay and SuperTokens. Both of them are Y Combinator-backed startups. FamPay is a fintech product with 5M+ downloads on the Android Play store. Whereas SuperTokens is an open-source + SaaS software that provides highly customizable user authentication.

I have also built advanced search features for an open-source organization (Software Heritage) which is a part of Inria (Paris). These search features are powered by a dedicated search service that handles metadata from 180M+ software repos. I have also built multiple listers that crawl and ingest 40k+ software packages into our archive.
