• After a very successful inning at Aveksa, I joined RSA's Fraud and Risk Intelligence team in Bangalore as an engineering manager. Although, I took a demotion here but this was something very attractive assignment for me from new challenges and learning point of view - specially the domain and opportunity to work with some of very talented techies at RSA. I was asked to start with Adaptive Authentication-7.x which has already hit production and now quarterly maintenance release and sustaining engineering is my focus. I took it up, hired bunch of talented folks and gained deep insight into the product soon. I was able to find that many gaps and of course there were customer escalations. - so took this as challenge and as an opportunity, had set-up monthly release cadences with full transparency with customer support and customer teams on what has been prioritised and coming up.
• conducted trainings for support teams in order to enable them and reduce load on engineering team. This version of product was soon very stable and successful - many new deals happened. and therefore, new roadmap and new development.
