About

Engineering leader with ~19 years of experience in software development and people leadership. I have a strong track record of building and improving large-scale platforms and services and achieving tangible results using people, processes, and technology. My tenure at Amazon has exposed me to planet-scale systems, instilling in me the values of engineering excellence and unwavering commitment to maintaining top-notch operational standards. I excel at bridging the gap between business and technology and handling complex requirements across domains like Crypto Compliance, Trading & Investment, Logistics, etc. My collaborative work with executives, business leaders, and product owners at Gemini, Amazon, and Saxo involved defining strategic roadmaps for near and long-term successes. I am competent in agile software development methodologies and can provide direction and guidance while dealing with ambiguity. I have an innate capability for leading and fostering the growth of geographically dispersed and diverse engineering teams. I am dedicated to fostering a positive and accountable work environment where individuals and teams can thrive and maximize their potential. Through coaching with a growth mindset, I inspire those around me to deliver their best. I am deeply committed to continuous learning and am eager for the opportunities that lie ahead.
