Message

At Virtusa India, I managed end-to-end delivery for Morgan Stanley’s Accelerator Trading Platform, coordinating engineering, integration, and stakeholder priorities. I also drove adoption of AI tools and AI-assisted development in engineering processes, delivering a 35% productivity increase.

On Morgan Stanley’s wealth management work, I coordinated cross-functional teams across engineering, QA, DevOps, and business analysis, and triaged major incidents through resolution. The platforms supported trading, portfolio monitoring, reporting, and risk analytics.

Previously, I held delivery and architecture roles at Dell Technologies and UBS India, working across enterprise technology and financial services. My earlier experience includes development leadership and software engineering roles at American Bureau of Shipping, Amdocs India, Fiserv, and Computer Sciences Corporation.
