About

With over 14 years building high-impact consumer products across Enterprise SaaS, Networking Hardware/Software, Telecom, IoT, Consumer Durables, and Insurance, I've worn many hats—from product management and sales-marketing operations to category and P&L management. In the past 4 years at Whatfix, I've led transformative platform initiatives as part of the Platform team, elevating uptime, developer experience, and cost efficiency. A standout achievement: Spearheading the full-scale migration of products and customers to a canary deployment architecture. This reduced defect leakage dramatically, strengthening Whatfix's enterprise-grade reliability and posture. Skilled at spotting business inefficiencies, I'm a data-crunching pro who turns insights into action. Passionate about scalable tech and operational excellence, I'm always driving the next big optimization. Let's connect to explore synergies in product innovation and platform engineering.
