What I'm looking for

I am looking for a role that fosters innovation and collaboration, with opportunities for growth.

I am a dedicated Tech Lead with a strong background in Information Technology, currently working at a leading tech company in Bangalore. My journey began with a B.Tech from a Tier-1 college in India, where I developed a passion for creating innovative solutions that enhance user experiences. Over the past several years, I have honed my skills in building personalized content recommendation engines, leading teams, and implementing efficient workflows that drive customer satisfaction and revenue growth.

At my current role, I successfully built a content discovery platform that utilizes user behavior and signals from multiple streaming services. I led a team of 15 engineers to deliver high-quality, scalable solutions, resulting in significant increases in movie sales and customer engagement. My collaborative approach and commitment to fostering a culture of growth have earned me multiple awards and recognition within the organization.

Prior to my current position, I served as a Senior Backend Engineer at an early-stage startup, where I conceptualized and built a chatbot that effectively matched job seekers with employers. My experience also includes a stint as a Co-Founder of an online marketplace for hobby classes, where I was responsible for full-stack development. I am passionate about leveraging technology to solve real-world problems and am always eager to take on new challenges that allow me to grow and contribute meaningfully.
