About

As a seasoned engineering leader and architect, I bring a wealth of experience in driving complex, high-impact projects from inception to market delivery. My career at ServiceNow has been defined by my ability to lead cross-functional teams, collaborate closely with stakeholders, and bring complex products to market within tight timelines. My expertise lies in designing scalable, configurable, and user-centric solutions that meet diverse business needs while maintaining a long-term architectural vision. I’ve architected and led the development of key offerings, including the Next-Generation Assessment Engine (Smart Assessment Engine) and Regulatory Change Management. In these roles, I’ve not only managed technical execution but also shaped product vision, contributed to functional requirements, and curated strategic roadmaps — resulting in products that enhance customer experiences and deliver tangible business value. Beyond technical leadership, I’m deeply passionate about building and nurturing high-performing teams. I have a strong knack for hiring exceptional engineers, setting a high bar for technical and behavioral excellence, and working closely with the recruitment team to define standardized interview processes across experience levels. I regularly conduct Hiring Manager and design interviews, ensuring that every candidate meets both technical and cultural expectations. Over the years, I’ve also mentored and groomed interviewers to uphold consistent evaluation standards across the organization. In parallel, I lead the Security Champions Program across three business units — helping engineering teams adopt secure coding practices, integrate security early in the development lifecycle, and build a proactive security culture. I’m passionate about mentoring, innovation, and continuous growth — helping my team members navigate their career paths, think long-term, and deliver customer-focused solutions. I take pride in fostering an environment where creativity, collaboration, and engineering excellence thrive. I’m always eager to take on new challenges that push the boundaries of technology and business, and I’m committed to continuous learning and growth in my career. I am passionate about creating innovative solutions that deliver exceptional value to customers while fostering a collaborative and growth-oriented environment for my team.
