About

I’m an Engineering Manager and Head of App for Job Hai at Info Edge, excelling in AI‑driven development with great efficiency, performance and quality. What I do: - Own the entire Job Hai mobile platform, defining engineering strategy, release cadence and production SLOs. - Embedded AI workflows via AI First IDEs for PRD refinement, planning, scoping and coding. Then AI led code review and performance profiling, accelerating review speed and time‑to‑production. - Run a steady release train that meets sprint commitments with high predictability. How I lead: - Hands‑on coach with regular one‑on‑one sessions and a track record of internal promotions. - Founded the AI Development Exchange, a knowledge‑sharing forum now adopted company‑wide. Core strengths: Kotlin, Jetpack Compose, scalable system design, AI‑driven delivery, monitoring & incident management, stakeholder alignment, and team mentoring. I enjoy translating business goals into reliable engineering outcomes—and using AI to shrink that loop even further. Let’s connect if you’re exploring AI‑led velocity improvements or high‑scale App architecture.
