What I'm looking for

I'm looking to lead end-to-end Agile software delivery, guide cross-functional engineering teams, and apply my hands-on full-stack background to complex products in healthcare, fintech, government, or SaaS.

I've led technical delivery for a cryptocurrency trading bot automation platform at Kooz Advisors and Technologies, owning architecture, releases, sprint planning, backlog grooming, and engineering resource allocation.

At Bluegenie Technologies, I owned end-to-end delivery of GenesisFlex, a Medical Benefits Administration platform. I drove Agile practices that reduced delivery timelines by approximately 15–20% while managing client relationships, scope, releases, and delivery risks.

I independently built a patented DNA search and matching tool for the Government of Tamil Nadu's Forensic Sciences Department, with copyright validation from the Centre for DNA Fingerprinting and Diagnostics.

Across 16+ years, I've combined hands-on PHP, Node.js, JavaScript, and database development with project leadership across healthcare, fintech, government, SaaS, e-commerce, and recruitment products.
