About

As a Senior Engineering Leader specializing in High-Concurrency Checkout and Payments, I help platforms move from 'monolithic bottlenecks' to scalable, distributed architectures. My core focus is transforming legacy mobile/backend systems into high-velocity Backend-for-Frontend (BFF) layers that reduce latency and directly improve Checkout Conversion and GMV. Strategic Impact: Revenue Architecture: Modernized critical Cart & Checkout flows, reducing API payload by 70% and slashing latency, directly impacting bottom-line revenue. AI Leadership: Author of 'Attention is Everything: Mastering AI-Assisted Coding'. I don't just talk about AI; I operationalize it to reduce technical debt and accelerate SDLC velocity. Operational Excellence: Expert in shifting organizations from 'deployment fear' to 'on-demand release' cadences using DORA metrics. Currently leading distributed engineering organizations (India/US) to solve the 'Scale vs. Speed' paradox." Book Link: https://www.amazon.in/dp/B0F7D58N96

Checkout Modernization (Revenue Architecture): Architected the migration of the critical Cart & Checkout service to a Backend-for-Frontend (BFF) pattern. This decoupling resolved "over-fetching" issues, reducing API payload size by 70% (50KB → 15KB) and slashing p99 latency, directly contributing to a 2% increase in Checkout Conversion.
AI Strategy & Leadership: Pioneered the organization's AI Engineering vertical, authoring the internal framework for AI-assisted coding (published as Attention is Everything). Standardized LLM adoption across squads to automate technical debt reduction and accelerate SDLC velocity.
AI Product Engineering (Webby Award): Directed the engineering strategy for 'Style Your Space', a Generative AI feature recognized with a 2024 Webby Award for AI Innovation.
Operational Scale: Leading a high-velocity distributed engineering organization (India/US) using a "Follow-the-Sun" model. Shifted release cadence from bi-weekly to on-demand by implementing rigorous DORA metrics tracking
