About

I am a Senior Engineering Manager at Games24x7, where I lead engineering teams across backend and mobile development. With over a decade of experience building scalable systems and high-performing applications, I combine hands-on technical expertise with strong leadership to deliver impactful results. Over the years, I’ve driven end-to-end development across multiple platforms. I led the creation of an iOS application, reduced APK size by 60%, improved CFR rate to 99.90%, and cut application start time by 60%—all of which significantly enhanced user experience and business outcomes. On the backend, I oversee the architecture and infrastructure of Ludo, the company’s flagship game, where I led the team in building its entire backend ecosystem from the ground up. Today, I continue to manage and mentor a team of 10+ engineers, focusing on innovation, scalability, and operational excellence. I am passionate about building not just great products, but also strong, collaborative teams that thrive on solving complex problems. My goal is to keep creating systems and experiences that scale with the needs of millions of users while guiding and mentoring the next generation of engineering talent.
