About
Why is a Principal Software Engineer obsessed with UX, user research and product roadmaps ? Because Iโve seen what happens when tech is built without empathy. And Iโm here to change that. I am a Principal Software Engineer turned Aspiring Product Manager, with 14+ years of experience building resilient tech products that scale and perform under pressure. For over 12 Years at Dell Technologies, I led mission-critical platforms that improved IT performance by 40% and maintained 100% uptimeโwithout compromising on quality, clarity, or collaboration. But tech is only half the story. What truly drives me is product thinkingโunderstanding user pain points, running discovery and translating insights into solutions that deliver business value. Iโve always believed that great products are built with: โข ๐๐ฌ๐๐ซ ๐๐ฆ๐ฉ๐๐ญ๐ก๐ฒ โข ๐
