About

I am working as a Senior Software Engineer at Uber, San Francisco, in the Membership Platform, where we love building new capabilities to cater to Uber's user-engagement needs. With vast experience predominantly in Platform engineering, I have built and scaled systems and tools that are currently being used by millions of users across the globe (little brag :D). I love building solutions and solving complex problems with a platform mindset. Why build just for yourself? My recent work includes building tools and systems to launch Uber One globally across 25+ countries, building and scaling our platform with verification/reverification capabilities to provide discounted Uber One membership to Students across 15+ countries, and onboarding various payment systems that are region-specific.
