About

I’m Rahul Prabhakar—an engineering manager who’s spent the last 15+ years building software at places like McKinsey, Nvidia, ADP, and various B2B/D2C startups.

Right now, I’m obsessed with how AI tools are changing the way engineers work. What actually makes teams more effective, what doesn’t, and how to close the gap.

I write about what I’m learning as I figure this out: practical tips, lessons from real rollouts, and the occasional aha moment from my own experiments. Sometimes I’ll wander into other territory: personal reflections, things I’m thinking through, lessons from life outside of work.

If you’re an engineer, manager, or leader trying to make sense of AI tooling (or just someone who likes following along with how one person thinks), you’re in the right place.
