About

I’m a technology leader with two decades of experience building and scaling high-performing engineering and digital platforms across industries — including PropTech,QSR, eCommerce, Finance, and Travel. Currently working with Hy-Vee GCC in Bengaluru. I’ve led diverse, globally distributed teams and delivered large-scale digital transformations — from building platforms from the ground up to modernizing legacy ecosystems with speed, quality, and innovation. As engineering Director at Hy-Vee, focusing on building high-performing teams, scalable platforms, and a strong culture of engineering excellence. I lead with a capability-first mindset — strengthening technical ownership, raising quality and architecture standards, and enabling teams to deliver predictable, high-impact outcomes. My work centers on transforming how engineering organizations scale: from adding capacity to building sustainable systems, empowered technical leadership, and data-driven execution. I partner closely with product, security, and platform leaders to align business outcomes with sound engineering practices. A key focus area is developing strong Staff and Principal Engineers, improving release discipline, and establishing clear standards that drive quality, reliability, and long-term platform health. I believe great engineering leadership is about clarity, accountability, and leverage — building teams and systems that continue to perform well beyond individual contributions. Passionate about: • Engineering excellence at scale • Technical leadership & mentorship • Platform reliability and quality • Data-driven decision making • Building cultures that sustain growth
