I own the Product Authorization Platform, the infrastructure layer that decides who gets access to what across every Adobe desktop, web, and mobile app. This platform sits at the intersection of commerce, identity, and AI monetization, operating at Adobe scale What I work on: GenAI Monetization & Metering — I lead the metering and entitlement layer for Adobe's generative AI features (Firefly, Express, and more), defining how AI-generated outputs are measured, priced, and enforced. This includes credit systems, quota management, rate limiting, and usage-based billing models that power Adobe's GenAI commercial strategy. User Entitlements & Subscription Lifecycle — End-to-end ownership of how users acquire, activate, upgrade, and retain access to Adobe products. This spans license creation, delegation, trial conversions, renewals, and request-access flows across B2B and B2C segments. In-App Commerce — I drive top-of-funnel conversion and engagement through in-app upsells, upgrade prompts, and trial-to-paid flows embedded directly in the product experience, connecting usage signals to commercial moments. Access Enforcement at Scale — The platform enforces authorization decisions in real time across all Adobe surfaces, handling entitlement checks, geo-restrictions, bad-actor detection, and compliance guardrails for millions of users.

Branded experiences: Technical Product manager for the Activity lifecycle Platform, Intelligent Communications Platform, and Server Presentation Framework platform that is built on the principle of Server Driven UI Activity Lifecycle Platform A highly scalable and multi-tenant platform that enables you to store, search, and manage activities of PayPal customers. An activity is any user action that is of significance for a customer's engagement with PayPal. So we are a platform that provides the foundational backend for the consumer and merchant facing domains to help them deliver powerful end-user experiences I own the Ingestion, Search, Scheduler, and Fanout capabilities that have sub-second latencies. The platform currently serves 5B search requests and 7B ingestions monthly. Intelligent Communications Platform Platform that manages product related communication through channels such as Push Notifications, Email, SMS, Notification Center, Badging (in-app/out-of-app). Server Presentation Framework Platform that works on the principal of Server Driven UI and hence, leverages the server to build the user interfaces of their client apps. Clients call the server to fetch the templates which contains the UI components and the data required to be rendered on the screen. Templates are then passed to SPF SDK which returns the user interface to the client. This opens up new possibilities and addresses some fundamental challenges with native mobile app development or web development. SPF serves ~100M monthly requests for templates with sub-second latency from various User experience teams and roughly 50% experiences on the PayPal super app are powered through SPF. All these platforms are leveraged for several Digital Wallet programs under the Super App initiative @PayPal
