About

After 17+ years of building software — and the last several years building the teams that build it — I'm opening a new chapter. 🚀 I'm exploring senior engineering leadership roles: Engineering Manager / Associate Director / Director / Head of Engineering. A quick snapshot of what I do today as Associate Director – Engineering at Perfios: ▪️ Lead a 50-member cross-functional engineering organization (17 direct reports) across Java, Angular, Python, React Native, QA, DevOps & UI/UX ▪️ Deliver enterprise digital lending platforms (LOS, LMS, onboarding, KYC, AA, credit bureau) for India's leading banks and one of India's largest NBFC-MFIs ▪️ Modernized a monolithic lending platform into 28+ cloud-native microservices on AWS EKS ▪️ Led an AI-driven engineering transformation — GenAI embedded into design, code reviews, documentation, and delivery across every engineering role ▪️ Instituted release governance across 4 tech stacks with a 115-point go-live readiness framework What drives me: scaling teams and platforms together — holding a credible technical bar while owning people, delivery, and strategy. 📍 Based in Bengaluru, open to relocation anywhere in India ⏳ Serving notice period — available at short notice If you're hiring for engineering leadership in FinTech, Banking, SaaS, or platform-heavy product companies — or know someone who is — I'd love to connect. My DMs are open, and every repost genuinely helps. 🙏 #OpenToWork #EngineeringLeadership #EngineeringManager #DirectorOfEngineering #FinTech #PlatformEngineering #Hiring #Bengaluru
