Engineering @ Razorpay \| Ex\-mPokket \| IIT Bombay

## About

I’m an Engineering Manager with a strong background in building scalable, event\-driven platforms and leading high\-impact engineering teams\. Over the last 9\+ years, I’ve worked across fintech, healthtech, and telecom domains, driving innovation in credit underwriting, customer data platforms, and large\-scale distributed systems\. At mPokket, I’ve led the design and delivery of mission\-critical systems—from building a greenfield underwriting platform that strengthened credit decisioning and risk controls, to architecting a Customer Data Platform that powers personalized engagement for 4\+ crore users\. I love diving into complex distributed architectures, optimising performance, and turning ambitious ideas into rock\-solid, production\-ready systems\.
