About Jegan Karunakaran
Jegan Karunakaran is CTO at Droidal. Location: Frisco, Texas, United States.
I’m an engineering executive who thrives at the intersection of technology, product, and people. At Venmo, I helped scale platforms that now power over $250B+ in annual P2P commerce, leading major transformations in Search, Feed, and Groups to deepen user engagement and unlock new revenue streams. I’m passionate about building not just scalable systems, but scalable teams—investing in mentorship, leadership development, and a culture where innovation moves fast and talent grows even faster. Whether architecting ML-driven user experiences, accelerating product velocity, or bridging gaps between engineering and product strategy, I believe success comes from combining customer obsession, technical excellence, and speed to market. Focus: Scalable Systems | Engineering Leadership | Product-Centric Innovation | Mentorship and Team Development | AI-Driven User Experiences | Gen Z Customer Engagement | Speed to Market | Platform Modernization | Cross-Functional Collaboration | Revenue Growth through Technology
