0 m the surface

I'm Lavanya. Currently Alice, falling down rabbit holes, building my wonderland.

This is my living, public notebook and proof that curiosity can, with enough coffee, become shipped work.

currently training for a hilly 10K in Aug

it’s like falling down a rabbit hole, you’ll see ↓

Juncture, where I’m at

I recently stepped away from a product role at LaunchDarkly to give myself room to follow my curiosity more seriously.

Right now, I’m exploring different industries/ideas and learning by building. Some days that looks like deep research and prototypes. Other days, it looks like getting creative inspiration at a random museum/art gallery/inside the pages of a witty book.

Outside work, I’m working on running longer and longer distances every Sunday, getting back to playing the violin (for teen Lavanya's sake), and building a life with more movement, creativity, courage, and whimsy. Emphasis on courage.

The broad direction: become an excellent builder, find a problem I care deeply about, and create something meaningful around it.

The honest answer: I’m still figuring it out.

But I’m very much in motion. :)

Journey, where I've been

'19 – '24

BITS Pilani Dual degree — civil engineering × physics. Mainly spent collecting friendships, memories and audacity.

'22 – '25

Founder's Office, Houseware Worked across functions, solved whatever needed solving, and got a front-row seat to building from zero to one. GTM, product marketing, hiring, customer success and more — I wore a lot of hats.

'25 – '26

Product Manager, LaunchDarkly Houseware got acquired, and I briefly swapped startup chaos for Silicon Valley scale. Useful detour but I missed the building, breadth and mess.
