Chief technology officer with eighteen years in software, the last seven leading engineering at venture-backed startups in Bangalore. Owns technology strategy, architecture and the engineering organisation, and is the person the board trusts to translate ambition into systems that actually ship and scale. Grew an engineering team from twelve to over a hundred while taking a platform through a clean re-architecture that cut infrastructure cost and tripled throughput. Sets technical direction, builds engineering leadership, and balances delivery speed against the security and reliability the business depends on. Hands-on enough to earn engineers' respect and commercial enough to sit comfortably in the boardroom. Looking for a CTO or VP-engineering role with a company ready to scale on a strong technical foundation.

Education
Indian Institute of Science

MS in Computer Science (August 2004 to June 2006)

Master's in computer science covering distributed systems, databases and machine learning, with a thesis on fault-tolerant architectures.

Anna University

BE in Computer Engineering (August 2000 to May 2004)

Highlights
Scaled engineering 8x
Grew an engineering team from twelve to over a hundred while protecting the hiring bar, culture and delivery quality. Scaling people without scaling chaos is one of the hardest things a technology leader is asked to do.
Re-architected for scale
Led a platform re-architecture that cut infrastructure cost and tripled throughput under peak load. Rebuilding the foundations while the business keeps running is exactly the kind of bet a CTO is trusted to get right.
Platform Re-Architecture
Platform Re-Architecture

Chief Technology Officer (January 2020 to June 2021)

Led the migration of a monolithic commerce platform to event-driven microservices, sequencing the work to avoid downtime, which cut infrastructure cost, tripled throughput and made the system far easier for teams to extend independently.
