Building wealth, one system at a time

Professional Photo

Hey, I am Rahul Rana — a Senior Software Engineer at Google, technical mentor, and active investor with 34K+ followers on LinkedIn.

I specialize in frontend and full-stack engineering with deep expertise in React.js, TypeScript, and system design. At Google, I work on complex distributed systems and advanced UX patterns. Before Google, I gained experience at tier-one companies including Uber and Amazon, building products that scale to millions of users.

I graduated from Netaji Subhas Institute of Technology (NSIT) in 2018, where I won Hack4NSIT (2017) and First Prize in Techathlon Coding (2016). Since then, I have helped hundreds of engineers prepare for senior and staff-level interviews through platforms like Topmate, focusing on frontend system design and React performance optimization.

Beyond tech, I am passionate about building wealth through smart investing and entrepreneurship. I started this platform to share honest, practical strategies on personal finance, index investing, and AI productivity tools - the same approaches I use to build financial freedom while working at a top tech company.

Currently based in Germany, I share everything I learn about combining a high-paying tech career with systematic wealth building. No gatekeeping. No fake guru nonsense. Just real strategies from someone actively doing it.

My Investing Philosophy

  • 1Index funds for the long term: 80% of my portfolio is in low-cost index funds (Nifty 50, S&P 500)
  • 2Active trading with small capital: I use 10-15% for F&O trading to learn and generate alpha
  • 3Keep fees low: Every 1% in fees is 10+ years of compound returns lost
  • 4Time in market beats timing the market: Consistency wins over perfection
