Short bio

Hi, I’m Kartik — glad you found your way here.

I graduated in 2015 and started at Microsoft (Bing), working on the Knowledge Graph Engine — building and curating the structured data layer behind search.

After that, I set up my own venture in Noida — अkriya, a product house in Web Technologies and IoT. We shipped a lot of things. Some of them even worked.

Since 2022, happily married and based in Bangalore. Currently at PhonePe, building Data Platforms under Fraud & Risk Assessment — Graph DB Interfaces, Data Pipeline Tooling, and AI Tooling.

Builder, DIY enthusiast, occasional 3D printer, and a flexible-but-opinionated person.


Things I care about

  • Knowledge graphs and how structured data connects the world
  • Interface design as compute becomes increasingly ubiquitous
  • Building things that are small, useful, and shareable
  • Poker (the chip kind and the strategic kind)

Favorite experiments

  • Queried the entire open knowledge graph of the web? Wikidata
  • Want to tango with HTML Canvas? kCanvas
  • Want to build re-usable composable components for the web? WebComponents
