name: Samar Kundal

role: Staff Engineer @ Pendo

prev: Founding Principal Engineer @ Chisel

experience: 10+ years

I'm a full-stack engineer who thrives at the intersection of product thinking and deep technical execution. Over the past decade, I've built and scaled products from zero to production, led engineering teams, and architected systems that serve thousands of users.

Currently at Pendo, I drive technical strategy and build AI-powered features that redefine how product teams make decisions. Previously, as Founding Principal Engineer at Chisel, I built the core platform from scratch — defining architecture, hiring the team, and shipping the product.

My sweet spot is AI/GenAI integration — building intelligent features with LLMs, RAG pipelines, and agentic workflows that create real user value. I believe the best engineering is invisible: users just feel the magic.
