With over 10 years of experience, I specialize in architecting scalable and high-performance platforms, currently serving as Technical Lead at MoEngage. My core focus lies in driving technical innovation, ensuring high availability, and fostering seamless cross-functional collaboration to deliver impactful SMS and WhatsApp outbound solutions. Committed to solving complex technical challenges, I am passionate about aligning technology with business goals to empower organizations and their customers alike. At MoEngage, I own the end-to-end architecture and technical direction of the SMS and WhatsApp Outbound platform. Collaborating with architects, SREs, and cross-functional teams, I design scalable solutions, lead technical reviews, and address blockers to ensure seamless integrations with SecOps and Platform teams. My expertise in Redis, Docker products, and high availability systems ensures that the platform remains efficient, reliable, and robust.
