About
Engineering leader with 14+ years of experience building and leading high-performing teams delivering critical, highly available platforms in regulated environments. Currently operating in a software engineering leadership role at Optum, with over a decade of experience driving large scale initiatives across India and the US. I lead multi-team engineering organizations owning cloud native, distributed systems, with end-to-end accountability across architecture, delivery, production stability, and operational excellence. My work spans AI driven automation and modernization of enterprise systems with a strong focus on availability, performance, security, and scale. I have driven Generative AI and Agentic AI initiatives to automate workflows and improve productivity, delivering measurable business impact. I partner closely with product, architecture, and business stakeholders to translate complex requirements into resilient, production-grade solutions. Previously, as Founder & Director of Ayra Technologies, I architected and launched a digital publishing platform from concept to production, reinforcing my passion for platform engineering, product thinking, and scalable system design. I am deeply invested in engineering excellence, talent development, and building teams that deliver under pressure, and I thrive in environments where reliability, trust, and innovation matter.
