I’m a seasoned Engineering Leader with a proven track record of building innovative, customer-centric products and leading high-performing teams at scale. With almost a decade of experience across global tech giants like Walmart, Salesforce, and Booking.com, I specialize in frontend engineering, full-stack development, and scalable platform architecture.

Core Strengths & Focus Areas: 🔹 Engineering Leadership & Team Building - Skilled at leading cross-functional engineering teams with a focus on autonomy, velocity, and excellence. I foster cultures of ownership, accountability, and innovation—backed by well-defined processes and clear goals. 🔹 Product-Led Development - I bring a strong product mindset to engineering. I believe great engineers solve real problems, not just tickets—driving product outcomes through deep customer empathy and iterative development. 🔹 Scalable Architecture & System Design - Hands-on experience designing and scaling distributed systems that serve millions. My expertise spans performance optimization, observability, reliability engineering, and cloud-native architecture. 🔹 Frontend & Web Engineering - Rooted in frontend engineering, I have deep experience with modern web technologies, building custom UI frameworks, and optimizing for performance, accessibility, and user experience across platforms. 🔹 Talent Development & Hiring - I’m passionate about mentoring engineers, hiring top talent, and creating inclusive, high-trust environments where teams thrive and individuals grow into leaders. 🔹 Community & Tech Evangelism - An active contributor to the tech ecosystem: I mentor engineers, speak at conferences, and engage with communities to share ideas, lessons, and innovations that move our industry forward. 📍 Based in Bengaluru, India, I thrive at the intersection of engineering, product, and people leadership. Whether it's building platforms from scratch, driving digital transformation, or mentoring future leaders—I'm excited by complex challenges and meaningful impact.
