About

I lead software engineering and delivery teams — and have done so across both outsourced product development companies and in-house product companies. That mix has been useful. Working in OPD organizations taught me delivery discipline — you are accountable to external clients, timelines are real, and client satisfaction directly affects the business. Working inside product companies taught me longer-term thinking — roadmaps, platform decisions, and building something the team will maintain for years. Over the years I have built engineering teams from scratch several times — growing them from a handful of people to 50+ engineers. I have managed engineering managers, set up PMO functions, built QA centers of excellence, and worked directly with enterprise clients in the US, Europe, and Asia-Pacific. My work sits at the intersection of engineering, delivery, and people leadership. I care about shipping good software on time, but I also care about how the team works — clarity of ownership, honest conversations, and building an environment where engineers can do their best work. Recently, I have focused on Business Process Workflow Automation — I have been involved in building platforms/solutions in this space and working with teams on AI-powered workflow and document processing solutions. I hold an Executive MBA in Product Leadership from the Institute of Product Leadership, which gave me a structured way to think about product strategy and road mapping — something I now apply alongside engineering execution in every role. Areas I have worked in: • Business Process Workflow Automation and using Agentic AI to building solutions in this space • Digital Healthcare — SaaS platforms for pharma and insurance • Identity and Access Management, Biometric Identity, Mobile Device Management • Field Service Management — Salesforce-based enterprise platforms • EdTech — school and campus management products • Smart devices based on Mobile OS platforms (like iOS, Android, NokiaS60) and embedded systems software Open to: Senior Delivery Manager/Senior Engineering Manager, Engineering Director, Delivery Head, and Delivery Director — in product companies, GCCs, or OPD organizations.
