Madhukar Kumar

Dev turned Marketer

Currently: CMO @SingleStore

Previously: Redis, Nutanix, Oracle

I began my career as a journalist before pursuing a Master’s in Software Engineering and Mass Communications, which set me on the path to becoming a software engineer. A few years later, I transitioned into product management and eventually found my passion as a marketer, working with both small startups and large tech companies in Silicon Valley.

I thrive at the intersection of technology and creativity, building solutions and writing content that empower startup founders, growth marketers, and anyone eager to combine product management, product marketing, and engineering to create meaningful impact.

You can find me on Twitter and LinkedIn.

I write in prose

About twice a month on Medium and Substack. And every other day on LinkedIn.

I write in code

I build apps for fun. Here, I do use AI. I am on github/madhukarkumar

I have a podcast

How we made that app - Interview of engineers on how they build apps. It is also on YouTube.

I create pictures

Sometimes I create pictures. With cameras. Not AI. They end up on Unsplash.

So you are a Jack of all trades?

Specializations are for insects. I am multi-variate.

Things I don't do
