Mihir Karandikar

I love writing software. It's been 9+ years building mobile & web apps. I'm a Lead Software Engineer at udaanudaan where I get to drive initiatives around UI infra, performance and stability across mobile and web platforms.

I care deeply about engineering quality and DX. I try to lead with empathy and I obsess over edge cases. I feel grateful to have talented peers around me, cutting-edge tech, and an India-scale product to work on! 🇮🇳

I'm endlessly curious about everything! My interests range from classical music, films, and literature to tech, geopolitics, biking, hiking, and whatever else catches my brain that week. It's sometimes overwhelming, but - iiwii. If you're into any of that, we can vibe over DM.

Working with Mihir at Udaan was fantastic! He played a pivotal role in modernizing our UI infrastructure — which led to major improvements in build times and dev efficiency. His deep expertise in React Native was crucial in managing complex upgrades with full backward compatibility and without code freezes. Mihir also led the creation of our unified Bolt Design System, bringing consistency across platforms. A reliable, collaborative, and impactful teammate. (Condensed version)


Last Book

Abraham Lincoln [link]

I'm deeply interested in American history, and this concise Marathi book stood out because it's by V. G. Kanitkar — a noted biographer of many such figures.

Last Place

Anjarle Beach [link]

Booked a nice little villa on a hill top near Anjarle beach. We visited Keshavraj temple, spent time at Murud beach, and savored authentic Konkani food and beverages.
