About

With over 12 years of experience, I thrive to build and solve complex engineering and product challenges. I believe great tech starts with great people. I am passionate about mentoring, fostering accountability, and turning challenges into opportunities for growth. I have been able to do this for numerous greenfield verticals, where I have had the privilege in leading globally diverse teams delivering strong impact for businesses and end users. My journey spans across insurance, travel and e-commerce where I have built and grown products from the ground up to serve billions. As an Engineering Manager for over 7 years, I specialize in cultivating high performance teams and to drive innovation and boost company metrics and customer success. My proudest moments include: - Launching multi-billion dollar health insurance vertical at Acko, issuing 500k+ insurance policies within a year, whilst scaling engineering team from 5 to 60 devs and 4 EMs - Designing tech and product initiatives, whilst leading the search recommendation engine team at Booking.com, vital to the conversion funnel of the company - Architecting the Delhi Government’s COVID-19 response app & backend, reaching the entire population of the Indian capital, featured in Harvard Business Review (https://hbr.org/2020/10/global-crowdsourcing-can-help-the-u-s-beat-the-pandemic) Let’s connect if you are interested in building impactful products or exchanging ideas on tech leadership!
