Berlin, Germany

Hi, I’m Santosh Mutyala,
a software engineer in Berlin.

I love building products end to end, and I care a lot about how people actually use them.

I’m DevRel at Featherless AI · since Feb ’26.

Outside work I ride my fixie about 10 km a day, train Muay Thai and run with the Slow Poke Run Club. I also build a lot of automations.

  1. 2020During COVID, businesses around me suddenly had to go online. I built a scrappy voice-based database for my uncle’s business, so he wouldn’t have to deal with complex software. It failed, mostly because it didn’t support local languages. The real problem was that I built it from my point of view, not his.
  2. 2021My first job, as a software developer at Zemoso in Hyderabad. I worked on an app for IoT lockers and on an image search platform.
  3. 2022That failure stayed with me. I wanted to understand how people actually use technology, so I moved to Germany for a master’s at the University of Oldenburg, with a focus on Human-Computer Interaction.
  4. 2023Next to my studies I worked as a software engineer at the university, on a research platform that institutes across Germany share.
  5. 2025I finished my master’s and joined MeshJS, where I built the AI stack for an open-source SDK.
  6. 2026By now writing code was no longer the hard part. Getting a product in front of people was. So I moved into Developer Relations at Featherless AI. It is half engineering, half sales, close to what an AI solutions engineer does.
