Engineering Leader | Data Cleanroom & CDP Architecture | Scaling Global Engineering | AI-Driven Engineering Productivity

About

I lead engineering for Epsilon's Data Cleanroom and Customer Data Platform — the systems that let advertisers, publishers, and brands collaborate on audience data safely, at scale, without moving raw PII around. Today that means owning architecture, roadmap, and delivery for a platform processing 4.5B+ customer records a year (single jobs scanning 1B+ records, peak days exceeding 60M) for 40+ enterprise customers at 99.9% availability — built on Delta Lake, Spark on Databricks, Kafka, and event-driven microservices on AWS and Kubernetes. I run a engineer organization in India and the USA, having scaled the team from 20 to 70+ at peak. I stay hands-on: I've personally owned the multi-cloud architecture (AWS→Azure data planes), and I led ZARA, our AI-native release automation framework, from a hackathon prototype to production use across 6 products and 1,300+ pipelines — cutting production upgrade time from 2 days to 4 hours. I'm equally comfortable in a design review, a QBR with the business, or mentoring the next generation of engineering managers. Right now I'm focused on AI-driven engineering productivity — using Cursor, Claude, and Amazon Q Developer to change how fast and how safely my teams ship.
