About

With over 13 years of experience in software development and engineering, I oversee and collaborate with the co-founders of Venwiz, a B2B marketplace for manufacturing service vendors, to build the first-of-its-kind product using open source technologies. As the Head of Engineering, I provide technical direction, develop the roadmap, and manage an 13-member team of talented engineers. Prior to Venwiz, I led the development of the Teacher Mobile App at LEAD School, a platform that helps school teachers educate children online during Covid-19. I used React and Node.js frameworks to deliver a user-friendly and scalable app that reached thousands of teachers and students across India. I also hold a Neural Networks and Deep Learning certification from Coursera, which reflects my passion and interest in AI and machine learning.
