I have led engineering teams working on payments, e-commerce, and ad-tech platforms, delivering high-quality apps and services that serve millions of users and generate millions of revenue. I have also scaled teams, hired talent, and managed DevOps engineers working on multiple cloud platforms. I have worked with various technologies, such as C/C++, Flutter, Kotlin, Swift, Ruby, Perl, Python, Lua, Elixir, Golang, and more. I have also implemented micro-services based architecture, event-driven architecture, Redis based caching, Postgres DB, MySQL / Maria DB, and more.
