Gigwalk is excited to welcome Sriram Yadavalli to the team! With over 16 years of experience in the software industry, Sriram will lead our engineering team as the new VP of engineering. Prior to joining Gigwalk, Sriram was running the mobile engineering team at Upwork. Before that, Sriram led the mobile browser team at Motorola Mobility during the Google acquisition. As a software engineer at Nokia, Sriram built the world’s first mobile browser that could render full HTML. At Nokia, Sriram also led a distributed team of engineers and shipped a world class web app platform on 200 million smartphones. Sriram holds a B. Tech from Indian Institute of Technology, Kharagpur, India and an MBA from New York University’s Stern School of Business.

Outside of work, Sriram enjoys traveling with his wife and two kids, ages 3 and 7. Their usual summer destination is Kauai where they enjoy snorkeling. However, this year they decided to explore Scandinavia, stopping in Denmark to visit the world famous restaurant Noma, ranked the 3rd best restaurant in the world and holds two Michelin stars. Sriram not only got to enjoy Noma’s 17 course meal once, but twice, eating both his meal and his 7 year old son’s meal, making that a grand total of 34 courses! Needless to say, he got more than the full experience!

Welcome to the Gigwalk Team, Sriram!
