## Work experience

Senior Engineering Manager at Walmart Global Tech India, Mar 2022 \- Present · 4 yrs 2 mos, Bengaluru, Karnataka, India, I lead a great team of engineers to achieve health data interoperability at Walmart\. Interoperability with HnW data is quintessential to Walmarts omnichannel experience for its customers\. However, Health and wellness data is complex, highly sensitive, and vast\. Securely managing this data in real\-time at a Walmart scale is a great challenge\. It is the challenge that I enjoy at Walmart\!

Co\-Founder at SanIoT, Jul 2020 \- Nov 2022 · 2 yrs 5 mos, Pune, Bangalore, Sanitation management in public facilities is a labor\-intensive, inefficient, and completely reactive process\. Yet it does little to dispel the washroom anxieties of the end\-user\. SanIOT is a novel approach to manage sanitation and hygiene, invented with 9 years of experience managing public toilets\. We offer a comprehensive washroom management system that uses real\-time data using an array of IoT sensors that can be easily retrofitted into the existing facilities\. SanIOT enables need\-based cleaning operations, predictive cleaning, predictive garbage collection, and real\-time alarms\. With a unified sanitation console and a mobile app, SanIOT completely automates every aspect of sanitation management operations for FMs\. Our solution not only cuts down manpower need in managing washrooms but also provides a dramatic improvement in sanitation standards for any commercial public space\.

Chief Technology Officer at SmartLoo Samagra, Mar 2019 \- Jul 2020 · 1 yr 5 mos, Pune/Pimpri\-Chinchwad Area, I lead the SmartLoo technology team and architected the world's first loo governance system\. In merely 6 months of operations, we created the SmartLoo platform \(that includes several low\-cost sensors\) from scratch and deployed them in three of the largest Indian Cities\. SmartLoo went on to win numerous awards and raised $100K in less than 3 months\. More about SmartLoo SmartLoo is a massively scalable software platform specifically created for Smart Public Sanitation Management\. SmartLoo aims to simplify every aspect of public sanitation, including real\-time alarms and escalations, Comprehensive Cleanliness rating in the washroom, Vendor performance management, Workforce management, Integrations with local governing bodies, etc\. SmartLoo can take millions of data points per minute from the sensor network \(Including SmartLoo and any third\-party sensors\), and process them in real\-time to calculate actionable insights and notifications for the urban governance bodies\. The platform uses a multi\-tenant microservices architecture that can be deployed on cloud infrastructure like AWS\. SmartLoo is intended to be deployed for City/Statewide sanitation monitoring and management\.

Co\-Founder at Miracas Lifestyles, Dec 2016 \- Mar 2019 · 2 yrs 4 mos, Product Architecture: Architected scalable software backends and a novel demand prediction engine for a cross\-border B2C e\-commerce marketplace, automating complex international supply chains\.

CEO at Miracas Lifestyle Pvt Ltd, Dec 2016 \- Jun 2018 · 1 yr 7 mos, Pune/Pimpri\-Chinchwad Area, At Miracas, I lead an amazing team to design multiple products \(B2C Mobile apps\) providing a unique shopping experience to our customers\. Miracas is an AI\-enabled online shopping platform that works on top of a robust cross\-border supply chain\. While the products available on any e\-retail portal in India largely caters to the need\-based purchases with a catalog of about 30Mn products \(Flipkart and Amazon\), a growing segment of e\-commerce is also “casual e\-commerce” when users buy items driven by her/his likes and desires, deeply discounted and not immediately needed\. There are more than 1Bn products available for this segment in the International market which is not easily available in India due to supply chain and inventory constraints\. We at Miracas, aim to bridge this gap by understanding Indian buyers' profiles using AI and providing them with buying choices that are either not easily available in India, or not available at affordable prices\.
