About

I am Karthik, the CEO of Skcript and the founder of FeatureOS. My career has been defined by a commitment to building sustainable, high-impact technology companies. From my early days as a software engineer at Apple, where I contributed to iPhoto and Aperture, to bootstrapping Skcript to profitability and scaling FeatureOS to serve thousands of product teams globally, I have always focused on creating 'insanely great' software. I am deeply passionate about enterprise AI and the power of developer communities. I believe in building businesses that last, prioritizing long-term sustainability and high-quality engineering over short-term gains. Whether I am working on AI automation or refining product lifecycle tools, I am driven by a desire to solve complex problems at scale. I am always looking to connect with fellow builders and leaders who share a vision for impactful, self-sustaining technology.
