About

I am a seasoned software engineer with over 12 years of robust experience in multiple startups. I'm currently working as Director of Engineering at MPL, India's 2nd gaming unicorn. Here my focus revolves around leading the development of GGX, a blockchain based SaaS gaming platform that enables game developers and publishers to create and monetize NFTs for their games. I have experience developing high concurrency, scalable backend systems. In past I have built products from absolute zero. I had the opportunity to build products in different domains including Mobile & Web Games, SaaS Customer Service Platform, Chat Messenger, Online Pharmacy, SaaS Mobile Gaming Platform. Over the past 5 years, I've transitioned into a leadership role. It has become my passion to guide and nurture teams that can build high quality, customer focussed products. I believe in fostering an environment of trust and freedom, where team members are empowered to voice their opinions and contribute meaningfully. Outside of work, I love reading books, playing guitar, and channeling my thoughts through writing. I started writing blogs on programming problems during my college days, these days I write about technology trends, digital products, startup ecosystem, finance etc. I'm eagerly looking forward to the prospect of establishing new collaborations and connections. If you're intrigued by innovation, digital products, entrepreneurship or startups, don't hesitate to reach out through LinkedIn Messenger.
