About

With over 20 years of global engineering leadership experience across Tesco, LinkedIn, and VMware, I specialize in building and scaling high-performing organizations that deliver resilient, enterprise-grade platforms at significant scale. I have led distributed teams across India, the United States, and Europe, with responsibility spanning platform strategy, organizational maturity, delivery excellence, and operational performance. My experience includes leading organizations of 25–70+ engineers and engineering managers, owning the roadmap and execution of mission-critical systems supporting millions of customers and high-volume enterprise workloads. At Tesco, I currently lead Infrastructure Platform Engineering, driving the evolution of internal platform capabilities delivered “as-a-service,” including event streaming, caching, and network infrastructure services. Previously, I led the Customer Orders domain, modernizing core commerce systems through a transition from monolithic architecture to modular, cloud-native platforms that support millions of transactions each week. Earlier in my career at LinkedIn and VMware, I delivered enterprise productivity and SaaS platform initiatives, led multi-cloud and public cloud adoption, and built globally distributed engineering teams focused on reliability, scalability, and engineering excellence. My leadership approach combines strong technical depth with business alignment—establishing clear operating models, empowering teams, and delivering measurable outcomes through platform strategy, engineering transformation, and continuous improvement. Core Areas of Focus: Platform & Infrastructure Engineering • Enterprise Technology Strategy • Organizational Scaling • Global Delivery • Distributed Systems • Cloud-Native Architecture • Engineering Transformation I am always open to engaging with leaders and organizations working on large-scale platform innovation and transformational engineering initiatives.
