What I'm looking for

I am looking for a role that fosters innovation, encourages collaboration, and offers opportunities for growth in technology leadership.

I'm Neel Borooah, an entrepreneur and technology leader with over 12 years of experience in building and scaling tech products. As the Founder and CTO of getpresent.fit, I've successfully developed an AI-driven strength coaching app that has generated revenue and garnered a loyal user base. My journey has been marked by a commitment to product innovation and a passion for creating high-performing teams.

Previously, I served as a Senior Engineering Manager at Bloomreach, where I played a pivotal role in scaling a search-as-a-service product to unicorn status. I led multiple teams, managed significant budgets, and orchestrated improvements in project completion rates and customer satisfaction. My technical expertise spans various domains, and I have a proven track record of transforming cost centers into revenue-generating product lines.

Throughout my career, I have focused on leveraging data-driven strategies to enhance operational efficiency and drive product growth. I am dedicated to fostering a collaborative work environment and am always eager to tackle new challenges in the tech landscape.
