IndiaWhat I'm looking for
I’m an engineering manager and associate principal with 19+ years of experience leading teams that build, modernize, and scale enterprise platforms. My work sits at the intersection of people, systems, and delivery, turning complex environments into predictable, high-performing engineering organizations.
I stabilize and modernize critical platforms by creating clarity where there is ambiguity—setting direction teams can execute on and aligning technology decisions to business outcomes. In my current role, I lead end-to-end program governance (roadmap planning, dependency management, risk mitigation, and stakeholder communications) for enterprise commerce portfolio initiatives.
I also focus heavily on engineering reliability and operational excellence. I’ve led service reliability and incident management efforts, owned L3/L4 support leadership, and improved operations by reducing recurring production issues through RCA, automation, and engineering quality practices.
My applied AI approach is practical and measurable—no hype. I integrate applied AI into everyday engineering workflows (e.g., Microsoft Copilot, Azure DevOps, Power BI) to improve productivity, provide analytics-driven operational visibility, and speed up delivery with simpler, faster execution.
