Meet Kishan: Intrinsiq’s Technical Troubleshooter
Kishan Shingadia is Intrinsiq’s Head of Technical, though in reality, he’s the person connecting the dots between clients, developers, and the clever solutions that make everything run smoothly. Whether he’s helping solve a tricky issue, supporting the dev team, or translating client ideas into something practical and secure, Kishan is happiest when there’s a problem to figure out.
And the more challenging the problem, the better. With an engineering mindset and over 10 years previously spent working in broadcast television, Kishan naturally enjoys untangling complicated things and finding smarter, simpler ways to make them work. Thanks to Intrinsiq CEO Mark Milford giving him the opportunity to jump into a completely new industry, he’s brought that same problem-solving energy into the world of education tech.
A good day at work for Kishan is simple: making progress. That might mean cracking a difficult client issue, helping the team move a project forward, or testing new platform updates to make sure everything works exactly as it should. He still likes staying hands-on, often diving into Intrinsiq’s test platforms himself to recreate bugs and help speed up fixes.
Outside of work, the “how does this work?” mindset never really switches off. Kishan enjoys building things, whether that’s Lego, furniture, DIY projects, or even cars. In fact, if he wasn’t working in tech, he’d probably be a mechanic, happily taking engines apart and putting them back together again.
When he’s finally off the clock, you’ll usually find him watching F1, football, or cricket with a coffee in hand. He’s firmly team early-morning over late-night, and according to Kishan, no day properly starts without coffee.
His current top recommendation? The Dark Knight Trilogy — which feels very on-brand for someone who spends most of their time solving problems and keeping things running behind the scenes.
Thoughtful, hands-on, and quietly brilliant at solving complex problems, Kishan brings the calm technical know-how that helps keep Intrinsiq moving forward every day.
