Founder and editor
Himanshu Saxena.
Engineering leader, TEDx speaker, writer, and long-form interviewer. Two decades at the intersection of platform engineering, AI, and organizational scale—now documenting the reality of technical leadership.
Diary of a CTO is an independent technology publication for engineering leaders. It combines 21 long-form essays with 21 recorded conversations with CTOs, VPs of Engineering, and founders. The work focuses on what actually happens inside engineering organizations: AI adoption that survives contact with production, platform investment that pays back, and leadership decisions made with incomplete information.
Commentary from this work has appeared on Zee News and Times Now primetime, in LeadDev, and on the TEDx stage.
