## Work experience

Associate Director at udaan\.com, Aug 2023 \- Present · 3 yrs 2 mos, Bangalore Urban, Karnataka, India, Udaan has been the steepest curve in my engineering career, and the most rewarding\. I learned how to work from first principles, make decisions with data \(not vibes\), and turn autonomy into outcomes\. These days, I lead all things UI; from shipping core product experiences to modernizing infra across mobile and web\. Design systems, performance wins, CI/CD upgrades, platform migrations \- if it touches frontend, I’ve probably touched it\.

Software Engineer at Aera Technology, Nov 2020 \- Aug 2021 · 10 mos, Pune, Maharashtra, India, After switching from a service\-based setup to a proper product gig, I joined as the only UI engineer on a team\. I ended up revamping the whole codebase and sought additional projects\. That’s where I really learned what it means to own software end\-to\-end\. However, when the work didn’t present enough challenges, I decided it was time to move on\.

Associate Technical Lead at Harbinger Group, Jan 2019 \- Nov 2020 · 1 yr 11 mos, Pune, Maharashtra, India, They were right about the first job \- it was special\. Learned the ropes, understood full SDLC of web and mobile products, made friends here and abroad, independently managed a team of engineers\.
