What I'm looking for

I’m looking for a role where I can combine engineering discipline with data/AI to ship reliable solutions and drive measurable results—partnering closely with founders or cross-functional teams to grow business and product impact.

I move between engineering and growth with the same focus: measurable outcomes. Most recently, as a Business Development Representative (Founder’s Office) at Renegade Insurance, I directly led and closed $4M+ in high-value deals and drove a 55% uplift in net-new business acquisition through scalable outreach frameworks.

Before that, I built mission-ready software as a Software Engineer for the Super Sukhoi Upgrade Program (Indian Air Force). I spearheaded development of 3+ Line Replaceable Units (LRUs) for DRDO, reducing system integration time by 30%, and achieved 2X accuracy in navigation systems through embedded programming.

Across projects and leadership, I’ve leaned into data, AI, and disciplined delivery. From an LSTM/TensorFlow “Epidemic Analysis for COVID-19” model (88% prediction accuracy) to a computer vision accessibility tool using OpenCV (95% accuracy), I’m energized by problems where performance, reliability, and iteration matter.
