About

As the Director of Engineering at Porter, my leadership has successfully guided our 2Wheeler business vertical's engineering team, featuring over 25 engineers specializing in Backend, mobile, automation, and QA. My role encompasses the orchestration of key projects, such as the development of booking flow V2 and the overhaul of our Partner Onboarding product, which have significantly enhanced user and partner experiences. The cross-functional team I assembled was pivotal in migrating revenue-generating flows to a more efficient Kotlin stack, achieving over a 60% improvement in latencies. Collaborating with HR, we created a career ladder for IC positions, unifying career progression across departments. My combined expertise in engineering management and strategic planning has been instrumental in driving innovation and efficiency within Porter.
