About

Seasoned Software Professional with 16 years of industry experience. Throughout my journey, I've played various roles, starting as a Software Developer and now serving as an Engineering Manager at Salesforce. At Salesforce, my leadership as an Engineering Manager revolves around spearheading the creation of our first application using Data Cloud and AI, helping customers find their next best customer. This role involves a dynamic blend of agile development practices and a high-performance culture, pushing the bounds of secure and modular application design. With my expertise in the Salesforce Core platform and Cloud, our team delivers robust solutions that empower customers globally. My journey includes a crucial transition from Lead Member of Technical Staff to Engineering Manager after 16 years, where I have elevated my contribution from writing effective code to strategizing product development. This progression reflects a commitment to excellence and a passion for fostering a collaborative environment that nurtures innovation and responsiveness to market needs. I hold a Bachelor of Engineering degree from Park College of Engineering and Technology, Coimbatore. When not working, I enjoy reading novels, watching movies, travelling, and playing PlayStation. #SoftwareProfessional #EngineeringManager #Salesforce #DataCloud #AI #Leadership #Innovation #CloudApplications #AgileDevelopment #CareerJourney #TechIndustry
