I'm a Technical Lead with over 5 years of experience building enterprise-grade platforms that solve complex business problems. Originally from India, I was educated and spent my first five professional years in Bengaluru—India's tech hub—where I honed my skills working with Fortune 500 clients. I've recently made the move to Abu Dhabi as a UAE resident, bringing a global perspective to solving both local and international technology challenges.
My journey in software engineering has taken me from individual contributor to leading cross-functional teams of 20+ engineers, working across healthcare, SaaS, and talent management domains. I thrive at that sweet spot where clean code meets great collaboration—where technical decisions enable teams to move faster, not slower.

I architect and build cloud-native microservices using Java/Spring Boot, Node.js, and React, deployed on AWS and Kubernetes. My focus is on creating systems that don't just work—they scale, perform, and deliver measurable business value.
From zero-downtime migrations to implementing distributed workflows with Temporal, I've tackled challenges across the full stack. I've designed secure multi-tenant systems that let 15+ enterprise clients share infrastructure without compromising on security or performance, optimized databases (PostgreSQL, DynamoDB, Cassandra), and built event-driven architectures that process hundreds of requests per second.
But technical excellence is only half the story. I believe the best engineering happens when teams are empowered, processes are clear, and architecture decisions are made with both developers and users in mind.

🔐 Designed secure multi-tenant architecture supporting 15+ enterprise clients on shared infrastructure with strict data isolation
Outside of engineering, I'm passionate about knowledge sharing and mentorship. I've designed bootcamps that trained 50+ engineers with a 90% conversion rate, and I believe the best way to master something is to teach it. Seeing junior engineers grow into confident contributors is one of the most rewarding parts of leadership.
I'm also an advocate for sustainable engineering practices—writing code that's not just functional today, but maintainable five years from now. That means comprehensive testing (I once increased test coverage from 20% to 80%), infrastructure as code, and observability baked in from day one. I'd rather spend an extra day building it right than spend weeks firefighting production issues.
When I'm not architecting systems or reviewing pull requests, I stay current with emerging technologies and best practices in distributed systems, cloud architecture, and engineering leadership. I'm particularly interested in the evolution of workflow orchestration systems and how they're changing the way we build complex, long-running processes.
Currently based in Abu Dhabi, UAE and available for opportunities in the region or remote roles. I'm particularly interested in:
- 🏗️ Technical leadership roles in high-growth startups or scale-ups
- ☁️ Cloud-native architecture and AWS optimization projects
- 🚀 Greenfield platform development with modern stacks
- 👥 Opportunities to build and mentor engineering teams
Whether you're looking for technical leadership, cloud architecture expertise, or a passionate engineer who can bridge technology and business value—let's connect.
