What I'm looking for

I am seeking a role that fosters innovation, encourages team growth, and offers opportunities for strategic leadership in technology.

I am an engineering leader with over a decade of experience in building and scaling back-end platforms using Node.js and Java. For the past four years, I have successfully managed remote teams of 15-18 engineers across India and EMEA, focusing on shipping partner integrations and enhancing software delivery processes. My expertise in DORA metrics has led to significant improvements in deployment frequency and mean time to recovery (MTTR), achieving a 40% reduction in MTTR and tripling deployment frequency.

Throughout my career, I have demonstrated a strong commitment to coaching and mentoring engineers, helping them progress to engineering manager roles. I have a proven track record of negotiating project scopes with product teams to balance feature delivery with technical debt. My leadership style emphasizes collaboration, continuous improvement, and a customer-centric approach, ensuring that my teams not only meet but exceed client expectations.
