About

Strategic and hands‑on technology executive with 22+ years of experience building and scaling global engineering organizations. Over my career, I’ve led teams of 300+ engineers across Product-Engineering, QA, DevOps, and Infosec, across multiple geographies such as USA, Europe, SEA and India, while establishing new tech centers from scratch and embedding cultures of accountability, inclusion, and innovation. My leadership journey spans CTO, SVP Engineering, and Head of Engineering roles, where I’ve driven large‑scale transformations — migrating monoliths to microservices to event driven systems, architecting fault‑tolerant cloud‑native platforms, embracing AI powered development to accelerate delivery, enabling ML pipelines for data science and strengthening security. I partner closely with product and business leaders to align technology strategy with customer outcomes, ensuring engineering excellence translates into measurable business impact.
