About

Experienced Engineering leader with over 14 years of experience in building complex systems across multiple aspects of e-commerce and Fintech. In my current role at Atlassian as Senior Engineering Manager within Jira, I work with multiple teams, focusing on cutting down our Operational costs through customer centric platforms, automation through AI and via self-remediation. During my Engineering Management role at Shopify, I built cross-functional platform teams that allowed 7 of our Financial products to scale. These platforms integrate with Payment Service Providers and our Risk and Fraud teams to power all of our Financial products. Due to my overlap with multiple teams and external partners, stakeholder management is one of my core strengths. I have a proven ability to get buy in from multiple stakeholders and get stuff done. I follow the principle of AAA (Aim, Assemble and Achieve) to enable my teams to move faster. I take care of prioritization and roadmap planning with my Product, UX and Data peers to ensure that MVP and data driven decisions are considered. I invest heavily into mentoring, growing and coaching my teams while ensuring team building, team health and team productivity. I lay emphasis on Operational excellence and go the extra mile to ensure that we are shipping with monitoring, logging, automation and alerting. I have gathered experience from working at early stage startups such as Tally and Foodora to well-established market leaders such as Atlassian, Shopify and Flipkart.

  • I joined Shopify as a lead for a team which was undergoing a reorganisation. A team charter, product ownership were topics that were almost non existent for my team.
  • I started having conversations with several Product and Engineering leaders within my domain and the neighbouring domain.
  • My strategy here was to take inputs from my leadership, my stakeholders and my own team and propose a charter and build a roadmap. Within a few months of collaborating with my stakeholders and planning team capacity we were able to build a solid 3 year, actionable roadmap for my team. The group grew fast and was split into platform teams that were delivering significant business impact in the Fintech space by powering all of our Financial products.
