About Me
Passionate about building scalable systems and solving complex problems
With 14+ years of experience as a software engineer, I focus on engineering excellence and building large-scale platform systems. I currently work as a Principal Software Engineer at Intuit, where I design and develop cloud and platform capabilities which powers Intuit flagship products, improve reliability, performance, and developer productivity across Intuit’s services.
My background spans e-commerce, BFSI, FMCG, large-scale SaaS, and social platforms, giving me a broad view of how distributed systems behave in very different domains. I’ve led migrations, re-architecture, and containerization efforts across AWS, Azure, and GCP; developed and operated systems that handle billions of transactions; and driven initiatives around infrastructure as code, automation, observability, HA/DR, and capacity planning.
I enjoy solving complex distributed systems problems and turning them into simple, opinionated platform abstractions that other teams can confidently build on. I work closely with engineers and partners across orgs to align architecture with business goals while keeping systems scalable, secure, and easy to operate.
