What I'm looking for

I’m looking for a challenging role where I can lead engineering strategy and delivery—building resilient platforms and AI-enabled products—while fostering experimentation, strong engineering practices, and cross-functional execution.

I’m a Software Engineering Leader with over 15 years of full-stack engineering experience in agile production environments. I lead cross-functional engineering teams to architect, build, and deploy complex technical products while improving developer experiences and execution speed.

In my current role at Ernst & Young (Pune) as Senior Software Engineering Manager / Director, I lead 25 direct reportees and deliver 5+ BFSI projects end-to-end, handling 2M+ TPS with 99.99% uptime and optimizing latency by 30% via Redis caching. I also engineered a Multi-Agent AI system using CrewAI and LangChain, improving security vulnerability detection and mitigation efficiency by 40%.

Previously at Amazon (Pune) as Software Development Manager L6 / Leader, I provided strategic direction across data storage and identity management initiatives and achieved operational excellence through ticket reduction (12%) and developer productivity gains (30%), along with $350k annual cost savings by reducing technical debt. I’ve also helped scale a startup into a profitable mid-size B2B & B2C SaaS business, while establishing a culture of experimentation, innovation, and strong engineering practices.
