About

I’m Vivek Verma - an engineering leader blending hands-on technical depth with strategic foresight. I lead high-growth fintech and SaaS teams to scale faster, smarter, and more securely, turning ambitious product goals into resilient, compliant, and high-performing systems. Over 11+ years, I’ve delivered productivity gains through AI adoption, scaled B2B integrations (Paisabazaar, Tata Neu) to handle 30× API traffic growth, and built audit-ready platforms meeting ISO 27001, SEBI, PCI-DSS, and DPDPA standards - all while keeping teams agile enough to pivot fast. What I Do: • Lead cross-functional squads across backend, frontend, DevOps, and data. • Architect scalable, cost-efficient, and resilient systems with fallback & observability (New Relic, Grafana, Lambda, ProxySQL). • Drive measurable compliance & security outcomes in regulated environments. • Recruit, mentor, and grow high-performing engineering talent. • Integrate AI & automation where it drives real-world ROI. Looking Ahead: I’m passionate about applying AI, cloud-native architecture, and advanced analytics to solve real-world scaling challenges in fintech and SaaS. Whether it’s building from zero-to-one or scaling to millions of users, I focus on delivering systems and teams that can grow without breaking. Let’s connect if you’re building something ambitious, facing scale pains, or looking for leadership that blends technical depth, strategic clarity, and execution speed.
