I've had the privilege of leading backend teams at Zepto and Grab Financial Group (GFG) , delivering enterprise-grade applications that serve millions of users. Throughout my journey — from startups to major product companies — I've worked across domains like Supply Chain Tech , E-commerce, demand-supply matching, talent recruiting, and fintech. I have strong expertise in Golang , J2EE, XML, and object-oriented programming, with a passion for solving complex business problems at scale. I stay deeply hands-on with coding and system design, while also mentoring and empowering teams to achieve technical excellence.
