About

I am a seasoned Software Architect with 20 years of professional experience. Recognized for demonstrating a natural aptitude for technical and engineering leadership. My professional focal points include the building of large-scale Distributed Systems on the Cloud, providing outstanding customer experiences via the latest of Front End Technologies, and driving large-scale technology transformations to enable step-change difference in scale and customer experience. During my career, I have contributed actively to several products, systems, and solutions around Monetization & Subscription Management, FinTech, Healthcare & Automotive domains. Delivering superior administration on the above areas of expertise requires the utilization of effective communication and negotiation skills, business acumen, systems analysis, and resource management to support efficiency and maximum results. Currently, I am a Software Architect with Intuit.

Before this, I have built platform capabilities like Identity and Access Management and have transformed & accelerated the global roll of Intuit's Cloud products like QuickBooks to 10+ countries. I actively liaise with a team of 150+ passionate engineers & senior product, marketing, and technical leadership to build these platforms and technology transformations. Colleagues describe me as progressive, experienced, and innovative who can be relied on to offer superior solutions that consistently deliver profitable results. I am an active speaker in Tech Conferences and writer, looking for opportunities to learn as well as contribute to the Software communities about my practical learnings and insights.
