Engineering Leader @ CRED | Building and scaling fintech products across Insurance, Wealth and Platform

About

Building products, teams and systems that scale! Over the last several years, I have worked at the intersection of engineering, product and business — taking products from early-stage bets to scaled operating systems. My experience spans building new product journeys from the ground up, scaling existing businesses through growth, and solving for execution, reliability and customer experience at scale. At CRED, I work across insurance and wealth, including products that now contribute meaningful revenue, asset scale and customer adoption. The journey has included building products from 0→1, scaling them through growth, creating platform leverage, and driving execution in fast-moving, high-ownership environments. I bring strong domain depth in insurance and enjoy working on problems where engineering decisions directly shape business outcomes. I care deeply about building strong teams, creating clarity in ambiguous environments, and solving problems that combine technical depth, product thinking and business impact.
