• As CTO at DigitalPaani, I lead the intersection of hardware, software, and deep operational tech to build the future of sustainable water infrastructure.
• I manage a multi-disciplinary team of developers, designers, QA, product managers, and implementation specialists. Together, we’ve reduced product delivery timelines from 6 months to just 14 days—bringing speed, scale, and structure to an industry known for legacy systems.
• Key contributions:
• Built and scaled a custom visualization engine that challenges traditional SCADA solutions—offering real-time control, better UX, and modular telemetry.
• Developed a flexible Analytical Engine that allows business logic configuration to measure, predict, and act based on real-time water input and process data.
• Engineered a first-of-its-kind SV30 sensor using computer vision, automating a critical wastewater treatment metric previously done manually.
• Led the development of a GenAI-powered RCA system, enabling on-ground teams to find root causes of plant issues using natural language prompts and data insights.
• Oversee core technology strategy, system architecture, product direction, and cross-team collaboration across Engineering, Product, R&D, and Implementation.
