IndiaWhat I'm looking for
I’m an Engineering Manager and co-founder with 21+ years scaling high-impact software platforms across fintech, SaaS, e-commerce, and government. I lead cross-functional teams, own architecture and execution quality, and keep delivery predictable in regulated environments.
My teams ship platforms serving 10M+ users and transactions, and I’ve driven outcomes like up to 50% infrastructure/operational cost reduction via cloud modernization. I improve production reliability by reducing post-release defects and incidents by ~30%, with strong incident management and production readiness.
I’m hands-on in distributed systems, cloud infrastructure, APIs, and data platforms—guiding complex technical decisions, code-quality standards, and CI/CD governance. I also build people through hiring, mentoring, performance management, and data-driven risk dashboards.
