About

Engineering leader with 15 years of experience building and scaling distributed systems and AI-first platforms across Fintech, Insurance, Travel, and IoT. I specialize in leading high-performing teams, aligning technology with business strategy, and delivering measurable impact at scale. At Paytm Money, I head a 25+ member engineering team driving core initiatives in Mutual Funds, Equities, and Data Engineering. My work spans designing ultra-low-latency stock price broadcasts (serving 500K+ concurrent users), architecting AI agentic bots for natural language financial insights, and leading mission-critical projects like Disaster Recovery—achieving near-zero RPO and 15-minute RTO. Previously at Paytm Insurance, I built event-driven microservices powering motor, health, and life insurance products, integrated with Paytm’s ecosystem, and drove 10x revenue growth in two quarters. My earlier experience at Falkonry involved designing high-scale IoT data ingestion pipelines, ML-ready data processing, and cloud-native deployments handling billions of data points. I’m passionate about leveraging modern AI tools, cloud-native architectures, and data-driven decision-making to solve complex problems. With expertise spanning Java, Spring Boot, Node.js, AWS, microservices, and Kubernetes, I thrive on turning ambitious ideas into scalable, high-impact solutions. Always open to connecting with fellow technologists, product leaders, and innovators to collaborate on transformative projects.
