What I'm looking for

I seek senior engineering roles where I can lead architecture and delivery, drive scalable SaaS/fintech products, mentor teams, and improve processes and metrics.

I am a senior full-stack engineer and former startup CTO with 9+ years building and scaling SaaS and fintech platforms across India, SEA, and remote teams. I lead architecture, design, and end-to-end delivery while mentoring engineering teams to ship reliably and quickly.

My recent roles include Engineering Lead / Acting CTO where I architected internal CRMs, AI-driven IEP generators, and automated finance and compliance workflows that significantly reduced manual work and improved operational metrics. I've also delivered product and infrastructure work that boosted engagement, retention, and AUM across fintech products.

I excel at driving cross-functional teams, implementing DevOps and analytics solutions on cloud platforms, and modernizing legacy stacks to improve performance, cost, and time-to-market. I pursue measurable impact through scalable systems, data-driven decisions, and strong engineering processes.
