About

As an Engineering Manager at Redpin with over one year of experience, I specialize in project delivery, technical project management, and software projects. I lead cross-functional engineering teams in shipping global consumer-facing products across FX/Currency Exchange, PropTech, Marketing-Tech, and AI/ML initiatives. My work includes designing and implementing architectural standards for distributed systems, AWS-based cloud infrastructure, and driving the adoption of CI/CD and GitOps practices to enhance deployment confidence and reduce production incidents. Committed to fostering a culture of continuous improvement, I have built and scaled a fully remote engineering hub in Hyderabad, establishing robust hiring pipelines, interview frameworks, and effective onboarding programs. My focus remains on elevating engineering standards, ensuring consistent delivery quality, and empowering teams to achieve organizational success.
