About

Engineering Leader | Ex-Groww, Rippling | Scaled Product & Platform Teams | Fintech & SaaS | AI, Cloud, Distributed Systems. I bring strong execution, product-first thinking, and people leadership, with the ability to work across ambiguous problems and deliver results at scale. I am an engineering manager with 13+ years of experience in building and scaling engineering teams, leading product development, and delivering high-availability systems across fintech, e-commerce, and SaaS domains. At Groww, I led a 12-engineer team to build a distributed mutual funds platform handling over 180K RPM, serving 16M+ users, and powering 5M+ monthly orders. I scaled systems, processes, and people while aligning engineering with product and business priorities. At Rippling, I built and led two platform teams from scratch—focused on global accounting integrations and corporate expense management—delivering foundational systems for one of the fastest-scaling SaaS businesses. My experience spans: Leading cross-functional pods with product, analytics, ops, and customer success. Architecting large-scale systems (Java, Python, Kafka, Kubernetes, Cassandra, Elasticsearch, Redis Spring, Django) Mentoring engineers and building 0→1 high-performance teams. Aligning engineering execution with measurable business goals.
