Karan Racca Building software since 2015

Portrait of Karan Racca
Designed with AI.
Written by me.

I’m Karan, I bring clarity to complex problems and build thoughtful software products around them.

A programmer and hobbyist tinkerer. For nearly a decade, at Fortune 500 companies and early-stage startups, I’ve turned raw ideas into working products and scaled them as the people and the business behind them grew. Today, I work with early-stage startups and growing companies to turn their vision into working products—shaping the technical direction, building the platforms behind them, and staying hands-on as they grow. In between, I write about the smaller things I build out of curiosity.

What I’m building

Healthcare

Minerra Health

A preventive care platform. Health data comes in, risk information comes out, and it drives care, engagement and follow-up. I lead the engineering team and still build.

Zero Carbon

An AI-first platform that turns a company’s spend into carbon accounts. Every client arrived with a different workflow, and the platform had to fit all of them. I own the entire build.
