Founding Member and Director of Engineering at Velotio. Previously at ThoughtWorks, Replay Gaming, and IISER Pune.

I am an entrepreneur and software engineer at heart, deeply focused on architecting robust backend systems. My expertise spans AI/ML, distributed architectures, high-performance computing, and data engineering. I have had the privilege of contributing to products that have scaled massively, now generating over $1B USD in recurring revenue. I thrive when collaborating with nimble, smart teams to solve complex challenges and build impactful technology.

I've worked with engineering teams at Netflix, Coupa, UpThink, Kognitos, MaxIQ, Syngenta, NetApp, Zylotech, Snowflake, GenLeap, Sunsama, Manulife, PureStorage, HEAVY.AI, and other companies—delivering measurable business impact through scalable technology solutions.

This is my personal space where I explore software engineering and leadership challenges—and their solutions. When time permits, I write about these experiences and publish them here as notes and articles.
