I’m Shivkumar Wayal — a technologist, author, and artist with a focus on structured thinking and practical problem-solving. With over 20 years of experience in technology, I’ve contributed to companies such as Ford Motors, Oracle Corporation, Infosys Technologies, and currently, Starbucks Coffee Company. I hold a Master’s degree in Engineering from BITS, Pilani,

On this blog, I share insights on shaping products, guiding teams, and tackling complex challenges. Through visual diagrams, concise notes, and actionable guides, I provide mental models, frameworks and perspectives you can apply in real-world scenarios.
