About Me

I'm a Staff Software Engineer and Engineering Leader with over 14 years of experience designing and building high-performance, scalable systems. I drive technical strategy and architecture decisions for enterprise-grade software solutions, including my recent role at Procore Technologies.

My career spans leadership roles at redBus as an Engineering Manager, where I architected systems processing millions of transactions daily. I've reduced GMV loss by 95% through Kafka-based streaming architectures, built search systems handling 10K+ requests per minute, and led cross-functional teams to deliver complex compliance platforms on aggressive timelines.

I'm passionate about AI/GenAI, system design, and building products that make a real difference. When I'm not coding, you'll find me playing my ukulele or guitar, backpacking anywhere the road takes me, or recently — creating different kinds of music generated through AI.
