About

As an Engineering Manager at Dream11, I am leading a team of engineers who work on developing scalable and reliable backend services for the largest fantasy sports platform in India. I have hands-on experience in designing and building REST APIs, microservices, and distributed systems that handle millions of users and requests per day. I also collaborate with stakeholders, mentors, and juniors to deliver high-quality code and solutions that meet the business and technical requirements. I have a strong passion for system design, quality code, and machine learning, which I have honed through my previous roles as a Lead Software Engineer at Gojek, where I worked on various projects and integrations for the Gopay ecosystem, the consumer growth platform, and the communications and user management services. I have also completed multiple certifications and courses in machine learning, MongoDB, and Angular.js, and participated in several online programming contests, including Google Code Jam. I hold a Bachelor of Technology in Computer Science and Engineering from Walchand College of Engineering, Sangli, where I was awarded the silver medal for my academic performance and won many programming competitions.
