I’m a backend-focused engineering leader with over 12 years of experience building and scaling robust, high-performance distributed systems across e-commerce, payments, and transportation domains. My journey spans key roles at Amazon, Paytm, and Novell, where I’ve consistently delivered scalable solutions powering real-world, high-impact use cases. At Amazon, I have worked across Last Mile logistics, Payments, and Amazon Autos, building systems that operate at global scale. I contributed to a real-time Station Command Center (SCC) used across delivery stations worldwide, enabling operational visibility and execution for thousands of concurrent users and millions of packages acrross the globe. In Payments, I built a scalable Buy Now, Pay Later platform for Amazon Singapore by integrating with partners like Grab and Atome, with a strong focus on extensibility and reliability. Currently, I am leading the critical payment infrastructure in Amazon Autos. Previously, at Paytm, I was part of the core team that launched the Flights platform from scratch, building end-to-end features including booking, cancellations, and ancillary services (booking seats and meals). Earlier in my career at Novell, I worked on enterprise security systems, developing PKI-based solutions for identity and certificate management at scale. I’m passionate about designing scalable architectures, solving complex distributed systems problems, and building reliable backend platforms that directly impact customer experience and business outcomes.
