About

➽ Cybersecurity Platforms | Exposure Management | 0→1 Product Incubation | AI-Driven Remediation | Multi-Geo Engineering Leadership | Cloud-Native SaaS ✦ I'm a technology leader and people manager with 12+ years building and scaling cybersecurity and cloud-native SaaS platforms, operating at Director scope across platform and emerging product charters. My leadership focuses on product impact, engineering excellence, and predictable execution at scale. ✦ A distinguishing thread through my career is running platform modernization and 0 to 1 incubation in parallel - migrating large, customer-critical systems with zero disruption while simultaneously standing up new product lines from scratch. I built and scaled a business unit owned and operated from India, growing it into an organization of managers of managers. ✦ Most noteworthy is the speed of Patch Management & Remediation (Resolve) - a strategic extension to exposure management that I incubated and took from concept to launch in 2.5 months. It generated $550K in revenue within its first 3 months, with a pipeline now approaching $3M. That builder's instinct - concept to revenue, fast - is the same instinct I bring to every platform I touch. ✦ My organization has grown to 60 engineers across 4 managers and 1 senior manager, spanning frontend, backend, databases, detection engineering, integrations, CI/CD, and quality - supporting shared platform pieces across three products: Aurora Vulnerability Management, Attack Surface Management, and Resolve (Patch Management). I'm a dedicated builder of engineering leaders, investing in growing ICs into leads, leads into managers, and managers into senior leaders. ✦ I bring strong technical judgment to leadership, with hands-on experience designing cloud-native, event-driven systems using Golang, Kafka, and AWS, and deep roots in UI/UX. I apply AI at scale across remediation prioritization, automated patching, SOC workflows, and support operations - and partner directly with executive leadership on product strategy, roadmap prioritization, and M&A initiatives. SELECTED HIGHLIGHTS: ☛ Took Patch Management & Remediation (Resolve) from concept to launch in 2.5 months ☛ Generated $550K in revenue within 3 months of launch, with pipeline now near $3M ☛ Built and now run an organization of 60 engineers across 4 managers and 1 senior manager ☛ Own shared platform pieces serving Aurora Vulnerability Management, Attack Surface Management, and Resolve ☛ Migrated the Managed Risk platform end-to-end with zero customer disruption
