About

I’ve spent the last 15+ years architecting and scaling distributed systems and supply-chain platforms in e-commerce — moving from early-stage monoliths to high-throughput production environments serving millions of users. I’m currently an Associate Director of Engineering at Myntra, leading engineering for Supply Chain & Quick Commerce. My scope covers Warehouse Management, Inventory, Marketplace, and Omnichannel systems. My teams own the critical path services that ensure inventory consistency, order orchestration, and fulfillment reliability at peak scale. Throughout my career, I’ve tackled complex engineering challenges: decoupling legacy architectures, launching omnichannel platforms, and driving event-driven automation to reduce operational overhead. A consistent theme in my work has been refactoring fragmented, high-friction systems into resilient, scalable microservices. I care deeply about engineering excellence — fostering clear ownership, domain-driven design, psychological safety, and a culture of trust. I work closely with Product and Data teams to align technical roadmaps with business goals, while investing heavily in mentoring engineers and leaders. I’m passionate about building robust technical foundations that drive meaningful business impact.
