About

I am a Director of Engineering with 12+ years of experience building and scaling high-performing engineering teams and delivering high-traffic, high-transacting fintech platforms. At Paytm, I’ve led engineering efforts behind critical products like UPI and Bank apps, driving technology modernization, cost optimization, and faster delivery of business features. My expertise spans engineering strategy, architecture modernization, and cloud-native platforms. I’ve successfully transitioned systems to micro-frontends, implemented AI-driven automation, and improved resilience through SRE practices, observability, and incident management — reducing downtime incidents and accelerating feature rollout. I’m passionate about engineering leadership — scaling teams, mentoring future leaders, and fostering cultures of accountability, innovation, and excellence. Over the years, I’ve optimized infra and team costs, delivered secure and compliant fintech systems (RBI/PCI-DSS), and established governance frameworks for risk and vendor management. I thrive at the intersection of technology, business, and leadership — ensuring every engineering decision accelerates customer value, strengthens resilience, and supports long-term organizational strategy. Always curious, always learning, and always pushing the boundaries of what engineering teams can achieve.
