As a Software Development Manager at Hobasa, I lead the architecture and hands-on development of scalable, AI-enabled SaaS platforms, building on over 18 years in the software industry. I currently drive the design and delivery of a cloud-native microservices ecosystem, leveraging Java and Python while integrating modern AI approaches like RAG pipelines and vector databases to power smarter analytics. Across my career, I’ve had the opportunity to work in diverse domains and geographies — from building critical banking systems at JPMorgan Chase in Columbus, USA, to driving telecom product development at Nokia and Nokia Siemens Networks in Berlin, and delivering robust medical e-commerce platforms at Medline in the USA. This broad exposure has given me a deep understanding of global product requirements and varied technical landscapes. I’ve consistently focused on creating maintainable, resilient systems by applying clean code, SOLID principles, and proven design patterns. My experience spans cloud-native delivery, CI/CD pipelines, containerization with Docker and Kubernetes, and strong TDD practices using tools like JUnit, Mockito, and WireMock. I’ve also explored digital marketing, branding, and SEO, helping amplify product visibility and reach — especially in scenarios where organic growth and user acquisition were crucial. This crossover into product visibility gives me a broader view of how technology, design, and marketing come together to drive business outcomes. I’m passionate about coding, experimenting with new technologies, and mentoring teams to build innovative solutions that solve real-world problems. Always eager for fresh challenges, I look forward to continuing to grow and contribute at the intersection of technology and business. I hold a technical postgraduate degree (MCA) along with an MBA from the Indian Institute of Management (IIM), bringing together strong foundations in both technology and business.
