## Headline

SW Product Engineering/Delivery Management Leader & Product Management \| Enterprise SaaS, Digital Healthcare, Identity and Access Management \| Agentic AI

## 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\.
