Engineering Leader @ Landmark Group

About

Engineering Manager with 14+ years building scalable backend systems and leading high-performing engineering teams across e-commerce, marketplace, and logistics platforms. At Landmark Group (Styli), I own engineering for the Supply organization — I've grown and restructured a 25-person team into three focused pods, built out the leadership layer by supporting two new Engineering Manager hires, and transitioned the team from consultants to a fully internal engineering org. I built and launched the seller onboarding platform, now onboarding tens of new sellers a day, and own the Order Management System (OMS), Inventory Management System (IMS), and the Promise Engine that resolves delivery SLAs on PLP and PDP pages. I also stood up proactive alerting systems, led the systems work behind a new UAE warehouse launch, and took Styli live in Oman on a platform built to make new-country launches a configuration exercise, not a rebuild. Previously, I led engineering at Xpressbees (managing 15 developers across three teams, cutting partner onboarding time by 70% and shipment misroutes from 30% to 2%) and at Propertyfinder in Dubai (scalable backend services, microservices migration, 40% API latency reduction). Earlier roles include Principal Software Engineer at MakeMyTrip and Senior Software Engineer at Blackhawk Network and Zynga. Passionate about mentoring engineers, scaling teams through growth and reorganization, and building systems that make expansion into new markets and channels repeatable.
