Engineering Manager building AI-accelerated, high-scale testing platforms and leadership pipelines.
What I'm looking for
I’m an Engineering Manager and “repeat 0 to 1 to N” engineering leader with 11+ years in software and 5+ in engineering management, including 2 years managing managers. At BrowserStack, I lead engineering for the flagship, highest-revenue product ($60M+ ARR, 2M daily sessions), guiding a 12-person team (including a Tech Lead) and supporting a broader leadership pipeline.
I build systems that directly move product and operations metrics. I led a multi-quarter performance program that cut Automate test build times by 50%, created a slowness attribution tool to help Sales and Support win competitive POCs, and modernized onboarding—replacing stale docs with an LLM Q&A layer so new engineers reach first production contribution 40% sooner.
I’m a strong believer in AI leverage and operational excellence. I drove BrowserStack’s org-wide shift to AI-assisted engineering by building custom Claude Code harnesses that lifted per-engineer throughput 4x, plus an automated sprint-grooming assistant used by all teams. I also helped push production stability—cutting ~300 weekly P1 alerts by 70% and production incidents ~35%—while restoring team morale and velocity through targeted, fair leadership action.
Innovation and technical depth are part of how I lead. I champion the company’s patent program (15 USPTO filings in a year) and co-invented 3 patent applications. Previously at VMware, I was a founding engineer building “0 to 1” products and led an acting-manager period; at TCS, I delivered backend modules for core banking processes.
Experience
Work history, roles, and key accomplishments
Led engineering for BrowserStack’s flagship Automate platform ($60M+ ARR, 2M daily test sessions), cutting test build times by 50% and boosting per-engineer weekly throughput 4x via custom Claude Code harnesses and automation quality gates. Drove production operations and reliability improvements (P1 alerts ~70% down, production incidents ~35% down), accelerated new-hire time-to-first-contribution
Served as a founding engineer on two 0-to-1 products and acted as an engineering manager in the final year, hiring and onboarding a new team and owning delivery, performance, and appraisals. Built SmartFabric’s Wiring Diagram Builder (cut user effort 60%, errors 90%), and developed VMware Blockchain’s high-performance API server and storage layer with benchmarking to identify infrastructure bottle
Built backend modules to digitize core banking workflows (Orders, Risk Rating, KYC, and approvals) for a European bank, developing services in C# and later Java/Spring Boot. Delivered production-ready implementations that supported secure, reliable processing of regulated business processes.
