About

Building something super cool in stealth, I am an engineering leader and distributed systems expert with over a decade of experience building and scaling high-impact consumer products. Previously, as VP of Engineering at Dream11, I led Product Engineering, driving the development of core gameplay systems and the fantasy sports platform that powers a business of $800M in annual revenue and serves 260+ million users. Over nearly seven years, I grew and led teams of 130+ engineers to deliver across gameplay, personalization, social features, marketplaces, acquisition, and customer experience. I also built platform capabilities and scalable distributed systems that enabled entirely new apps such as Picks by Dream11, Manager Mode, and D3, within the Dream Sports ecosystem. My academic background includes a B.Tech and M.Tech in Computer Science from IIT Delhi, where my master’s thesis focused on distributed graph databases. I continue to apply that foundation through my work. I've contributed thought leadership such as co-authoring a blog with AWS on building social networks at scale, and delivering talks at AWS Summit and other industry events. Earlier in my journey, I co-founded a dating app and later led engineering for a leading parenting startup. Reach out to me if you love to talk tech.
