My code is installed on millions of computers worldwide. The backend APIs I managed, and the features I architect at Chegg/Gaana/Paytm transformed the way Chegg/Gaana/Paytm manages data. The teams I lead consistently achieve goals and deliver high-quality and technically challenging features. Technically, I get stuff done.

I am passionate about building, leading, and executing great products, and enjoy all aspects of a product lifecycle from idea to launch and scale. I believe in leading by example, creating an honest and open environment, and helping people develop and perform as highly as possible.

Lastly, enjoys life, technology, innovation, and entrepreneurship. Loves making things happen and being part of it.
