It kept me at the heart of technology but more importantly, given me the opportunity to create value for Salesforce and D. E.

Here is a quick snapshot: 🔹 I am responsible for Salesforce’s Tier 0 and Tier 1 platforms for distributed asynchronous processing and caching, foundational to Core CRM—the powerhouse behind our flagship products—both on-prem and in public cloud. These platforms support massive scale and critical workloads across the company. 🔹 Spearheaded the public cloud transformation of these platforms, harnessing public cloud scale while preserving cloud-agnostic architecture. 🔹 Currently leading a multi-year initiative taking Salesforce to Google Cloud, while also driving our journey of B2C scale with the largest B2C group in Salesforce already leveraging capabilities rolled out. 🔹 Delivered high-impact services and features to GA, unlocking business value through strategic initiatives and deep cross-functional collaboration. 🔹 Previously, as the of Futures technology group at D. E. Shaw India, grew it as independent vertical and led projects including expansion to new region. 🔹 Designed and implemented a Columnar DB from the ground up, architected a petabyte-scale data lake, and led its adoption as the core market data platform company-wide. 🔹 Consistently top-rated in internal leadership surveys and awarded as great manager, I thrive at the intersection of strategy, execution, and technology.
