About

About Me

Hello,

I'm Raghav Dhingra, a senior engineer who starts with the problem, agrees on what success looks like in data, and builds across frontend, backend, and cloud infrastructure until the numbers and the user experience both improve.

At Okta, I work as a core engineer with solution engineers - building Demo Okta Platform, Okta Labs, and tooling that helps the field demonstrate technical impact across engineering. I track how these tools are used, where they break down, and what moves adoption. When feedback and metrics disagree, I dig in rather than guess.

Earlier versions of this site are still up. I wrote the journey so the path here stays readable.

  • Defines success with metrics before writing code - adoption, performance, reliability, usage across teams
  • Builds demo platforms, labs, and internal tools for solution engineers - not slide decks
  • Full-stack delivery across React/Next.js, Node.js, Python/Django, and cloud infrastructure (serverless, storage, compute, CI/CD)
  • Treats feedback from solution engineers and usage data as input to iterate on
