About
I am a mobile engineering leader with 15 years of experience building and scaling mobile applications, with deep expertise in iOS, Flutter, fintech platforms, app architecture, release governance and production reliability. For the last 10+ years, I have been part of 5paisa’s mobile journey, growing from iOS development into mobile engineering leadership. I currently lead a 23-member mobile engineering team in Bengaluru, working with team leads, architects, product, design, QA, backend and DevOps teams to deliver secure, scalable and reliable mobile experiences. My work includes leading the native-to-Flutter migration, owning mobile architecture and platform strategy, setting standards for MVVM, Clean Architecture, modularization and reusable design systems, and managing weekly App Store and Play Store releases. I am also involved in production incident handling, VAPT, technology audits, CI/CD, performance improvement and post-release monitoring. I enjoy working at the intersection of technology, people and business. My strength is converting product goals and Figma flows into clear technical plans, building capable teams, mentoring engineers, improving delivery discipline and keeping mobile platforms stable at scale.
