What I'm looking for

I'm looking to lead architecture and engineering strategy for cloud-native SaaS products, modernize complex systems, apply AI to engineering workflows, and mentor high-performing teams.

At PowerSchool, I own architecture for major engineering initiatives and helped establish the India engineering team. I modernized a Ruby on Rails monolith into serverless AWS microservices, built AI-powered analytics for school administrators, and created an engineering knowledge platform that became the foundation for an AI assistant.

Across DirectShifts, Finvisage, and Softway, I've delivered enterprise SaaS products in EdTech, FinTech, healthcare, e-commerce, and logistics. I've led cloud migrations, improved deployment speed, designed multi-tenant platforms for more than 50,000 users, and mentored teams through architecture reviews, production incidents, and engineering best practices.
