What I'm looking for

I seek leadership roles where I can drive product-led growth, scale engineering teams, and deliver AI-enabled, secure, scalable SaaS platforms with strong cross-functional collaboration.

I am an executive technology and product leader with 13+ years of experience building and scaling engineering and product teams for SaaS, OTT, hyperlocal and D2C platforms. I combine deep technical expertise with hands-on product management to align technology strategy with measurable business outcomes.

At Delightree I led engineering and product to deliver a multi-vertical franchise operations platform, reduced time-to-market by 50% through CI/CD improvements, introduced modular architecture, and defined AI-driven agentic workflows including voice-based native-language search and an AI-powered Franchise Business Consultant.

I have a strong track record in cloud-native infrastructure, observability, security best practices, and performance optimization, and I thrive on driving cross-functional teams to deliver secure, scalable, user-focused products that drive growth and operational efficiency.
