About

I am a senior engineering and technology leader with 17+ years of experience building, scaling, and leading software platforms in high-growth and complex environments. I specialize in end-to-end product engineering, from early architecture and team formation to large-scale delivery and platform maturity. I have built engineering teams from scratch, led cross-functional execution, and shipped cloud-native, distributed systems serving 100K+ users. My focus is on aligning technology strategy with business outcomes and product-market fit. My core expertise includes cloud architecture (AWS/Azure), microservices, real-time and distributed systems, data platforms, system scalability, reliability, and performance optimization. I am experienced in modern engineering practices, including DevOps, CI/CD, lean delivery, and operating in ambiguous, fast-changing product environments. I bring an entrepreneurial mindset backed by strong technical foundations from IIT Kharagpur, with a leadership style rooted in clarity, ownership, and resilience. I am particularly effective at solving hard problems where systems, people, and priorities intersect. I enjoy building scalable platforms, high-performing engineering teams, and durable technology foundations that support long-term growth.
