From a System Engineer at TCS to an SDM at Amazon, my 14+ year journey through the tech world (including Flipkart, GE, and IIIT-B) has been about one thing: Growth. I currently lead engineering teams at Amazon, where I’ve spent the last 10 years mastering the transition from individual contributor (SDE) to leader (SDM). But career success doesn't mean burning out. I am a certified Yoga Teacher (500 hrs TT), a mother to a 6-year-old, and a productivity geek who uses systems (like Asana and Atomic Habits) to manage a high-pressure corporate job while maintaining a balanced, healthy life.
