Ragunath Jawahar

Ragunath Jawahar is the Founder of Legacy Code HQ, where he specializes in helping developers and organizations master massive, complex codebases. With nearly 15 years in the industry and 5 years working with large codebases across startups and enterprises, he discovered that software complexity is fundamentally a human comprehension problem, not just a technical one.

To solve this challenge, Ragunath has built innovative visualization tools including Eureka and Timelapse (open-sourced on GitHub), which help developers navigate complex systems by surfacing relevant information while filtering out noise. His unique expertise combines legacy codebase rescue with 2+ years of AI-assisted development experience, positioning him to address a critical emerging problem: AI's acceleration of generating hard-to-maintain codebases.

Through his work at Legacy Code HQ, Ragunath teaches developers how to harness generative AI to build production-grade applications while avoiding maintainability pitfalls—leveraging first principles from human cognition, software development, and AI. This rare combination of legacy code mastery and AI expertise makes him uniquely qualified to help teams build maintainable software in the age of AI acceleration.
