About

For the past decade or so, I've focused on unlocking value by making products truly extensible. This involved figuring out the best way to design APIs, marketplaces, and developer tools that unlock value that products couldn't have created by themselves. At Atlassian, I led product for Ecosystem Extensibility — part of the Forge platform that powers how customers and partners customize and extend Atlassian products. Previously at Razorpay, I led a team of PMs and helped build RazorpayX, a neo-banking platform for Indian startups. Before that at Freshworks, I led the Marketplace, developer platform, and developer advocacy teams. I started as a software engineer and picked up an MBA along the way — which means I'm equally comfortable in a technical architecture discussion and a boardroom strategy conversation. Occasionally I write about all of this at medium.com/the-oxford-comma.
