## Headline

Founding Engineer @ Plotline

## About

I’m a full\-stack product engineer who thrives in ambiguity\. At Plotline, as part of the early team, I helped build the product from 0 to 1, iterate toward PMF over multiple years, and scale it into a multi\-million ARR business across India, SEA, and the US\. I’ve usually been the person pulled into the hardest gaps: product direction that needs structure, systems that need to scale, customer escalations that need trust rebuilt, teams that need unblocking, or execution that needs to move faster without falling apart later\. My work has spanned frontend architecture, product systems, personalization, analytics, journey orchestration, customer\-facing problem solving, hiring, onboarding, and mentorship\. I’ve also worked closely on identifying product gaps and opportunities, and planned and executed AI\-native workflows from idea to production\. A few highlights: • Architected and shipped 15\+ modules end to end • Built systems ingesting 100M\+ events a day and syncing 50M\+ user cohorts • Helped build one of the strongest journey orchestration experiences in the market across in\-app and off\-app channels • Led recovery planning and execution for roughly $500k in revenue after regulatory disruption in India’s gaming sector • Helped grow the engineering team from 4 to 9 engineers • Contributed to compliance efforts across VAPT, SOC 2, and GDPR TL;DR \- I’ve spent the last few years building systems that take user data, make decisions on top of it, and trigger actions across multiple channels\.
