Hello! नमस्ते! Hej!
I am Ranveer. My day job is at Google, where I’ve spent the last six years working on Google Meet, sometimes shipping changes that make you look sharper in meetings, sometimes breaking things so badly that The Verge wrote an article about it, and sometimes just adding a little delight (emojis go brrrr…). At the moment, we’re exploring AI in video calls, because that’s what all the cool kids are doing.
Every once in a while, I pick up a book and then make it my life’s mission to spread the word and argue with people, equipped with newly learned ideas for several days following its completion.
Circa 2025, I picked up Lindy Hop as a try-it-out hobby. It has since grown into a full-time obsession consisting of practice, classes, socials, and trips to dance festivals. Spotify is now convinced my music taste is pre-Gandhi.
Circa 2023, I started running for fun; it has since become a preferred way of socializing.
Circa 2019, I got into fitness after a lifelong struggle with obesity and haven’t looked back since. It was mostly diet, moving more, support from friends, and a lot of mental gymnastics that have since settled into habit.
I’ve always been into touching grass, even before Gen Z made it a thing. I love hiking! Kungsleden is my recent favorite.
I have a bachelor’s degree in Computer Science and Engineering from IIT Bombay, with a minor in Industrial Design from IDC. Rest of the work-related stuff is on LinkedIn.
