About Myself

With over a decade of experience in the IT industry, I have evolved from hands-on engineering roles to strategic technical leadership. Currently serving as a Technical Consultant (more like Engineering Director), I guide the overall technology strategy and execution for the organization.

My expertise spans a wide range of domains including E-commerce, Healthcare, and Productivity, where I have successfully architected scalable solutions and led cross-functional teams.

I am adept at designing and implementing robust, scalable systems, with a focus on performance optimization and cloud deployment, particularly on AWS.

My leadership philosophy emphasizes fostering collaboration and innovation within teams, ensuring that we leverage cutting-edge technologies and best practices to drive the organization's technical vision forward.

I bring a holistic approach to technology management, ensuring seamless integration across various platforms and maintaining a forward-looking perspective to adapt to emerging tech trends.

Having played pivotal roles both as a leader and an individual contributor, I excel in creating cohesive, high-performing teams and delivering impactful technical solutions.
