Vice President at Barclays

About

I am a Senior Software Engineer with extensive experience leading high-performing, cross-functional engineering teams spanning India and the United Kingdom. Driving both technical strategy and day-to-day delivery excellence across geographies and time zones. My leadership philosophy centers on building a culture of engineering excellence — where clean architecture, code quality, and continuous improvement are non-negotiable. I take pride in coaching engineers at every level, fostering ownership, and creating environments where teams consistently deliver with precision and confidence. On the technical front, I bring deep, hands-on expertise in Java and the Spring Boot ecosystem, with a strong focus on designing and scaling enterprise-grade APIs. I have significant experience architecting and governing API platforms using industry-leading tools including Akana and Apigee Gateway — ensuring security, scalability, and developer experience are always front and center. I thrive at the intersection of people leadership and technical depth — translating complex business requirements into robust engineering solutions while keeping teams aligned, motivated, and growing. Whether it is driving delivery cadences, managing stakeholder expectations across international offices, or establishing engineering standards and best practices, I bring a structured yet collaborative approach.
