## About

Mobile App Engineering Manager with over a decade of experience leading high\-performing Android and iOS teams in building and delivering scalable, secure, and user\-centric mobile applications\. I bring deep technical expertise in native development \(Java/Kotlin, Swift\), modern frameworks like Jetpack Compose and SwiftUI, and backend integrations using REST APIs\. At Reliance Retail \(AJIO\) and Zivame, I’ve consistently driven performance improvements—boosting sprint velocity, reducing scope creep, and increasing app stability to near\-perfect levels\. I take pride in fostering team growth through mentorship, process optimization, and the adoption of modern tools like Cursor AI, which improved development efficiency by 30%\. My leadership style is grounded in collaboration, innovation, and measurable results\. I specialize in aligning product strategy with technical execution, owning the entire app lifecycle from concept to App Store and Play Store deployment\. Whether it's risk mitigation, OKR tracking, or mentoring the next generation of developers, I focus on delivering value at every level\.
