About Me 👋

My name is Svapnil Ankolkar and I am a software engineer from San Francisco currently living in New York City 🗽.

I love building things in the 0 → 1 stage, working on products that lots of people use, and playing a part in work that changes the world. I currently work at Rippling on the Global Payroll team.

I previously founded Woodside Labs (woodside.sh), where I built the most popular open-source bank transfer library on GitHub.

I started my career at Facebook, where I worked on WhatsApp's Erlang Infrastructure to facilitate peer-to-peer payments in India and Brazil. I most recently worked as a software engineer on the Payments team at Modern Treasury, where I built out our bank integrations and cross-border money movement capabilities.

I previously studied Computer Engineering at NC State University. Go Pack!

Aside from writing code and working to become a better software engineer, I also love:

I'm interested in building technology that scales and building businesses that make an outsized positive impact on the wider world. I'm proud to have done interesting and impactful work, whether it's designing an IoT-enabled embedded system that talks or building software infrastructure that protects the privacy of hundreds of millions of users on the most used photo-sharing app in the world.
