IndiaWhat I'm looking for
At JP Morgan, I lead a 55-person engineering organization across India and the US, accountable for personalization and audience platform strategy, delivery, governance, and operational health. I modernized Audience Platform into cloud-native microservices operating at 5,000+ TPS and 99.999% availability, accelerating go-to-market by 40%.
I led DataX from concept to production, growing it to 20+ applications and 60M+ messages daily while cutting new feed delivery time by 60%. I’m also leading an LLM-enabled self-service platform that translates intent into governed DSL-to-SQL, targeting campaign creation in minutes rather than weeks.
Across JP Morgan, Symantec, Capgemini, NSE.IT, and Nucsoft, I’ve built high-availability systems, enterprise data platforms, trading technology, and global engineering teams. I bring a strong focus on governance, operational resilience, FinOps, and developing leaders, supported by two granted US patents.
