Coding Behind the Clothes: Rahul Purwah on Tech at American Eagle

from High School Pathfinder: For the Future You Hosted by Ayana Mehta

You probably know American Eagle for their jeans, but have you ever thought about the tech that keeps everything running behind the scenes? In this episode, I talk with Rahul Purwah, a senior software engineer who’s spent the last ten years designing the systems that move every product from warehouse to store. Rahul didn’t plan on becoming a software engineer; in fact, he hated his first major (engineering). But one computer science class changed everything. Now he helps build the tech that powers one of the biggest clothing brands in the world! We talk about how he discovered his passion for coding, what it’s really like to work in retail tech, and why it’s okay not to have everything figured out in high school.
