Rakesh Menon is the co-founder and product lead at Seerly and a software architect with fifteen years of experience building and scaling web platforms. Previously, he held senior engineering roles at Atlassian, A.P. Moller Maersk, and Publicis Sapient, working across frontend architecture, shared platforms, and engineering practices.
