Tech@IOMETE | The Self-Hosted Data Lakehouse Platform for the Age of AI

About

Engineering leader with 12 years of experience building high-scale data platforms, distributed systems and strong engineering teams. I've build and led the data platform organisation at Dream11 and built Saltmine’s India engineering team. I’m now at IOMETE, an early-stage startup with a flat structure, building a sovereign data platform for the AI era. I enjoy combining hands-on architecture with team building, and turning complex platform problems into simple, reliable products.
