About

Technology leader passionate about shaping engineering strategy that connects product vision with business impact. Over the past 20 years, I have led high-velocity engineering teams, built platforms from the ground up, and guided large, globally distributed organizations through digital transformation. Currently at Twilio, I drive frontend architecture and define the technical direction for scalable, maintainable systems that power modern customer experiences. Previously, I led the design and implementation of a global Digital Experience Platform for Cargill, establishing the strategic blueprint for frontend architecture and enabling seamless integration across content and commerce ecosystems (Adobe AEM, Salesforce). Earlier in my career, I led engineering teams at Yahoo!, co-founded one of India’s first online PR distribution platforms, and mentored hundreds of engineers as a domain lead.
