I’m a senior tech leader with 14+ years of software development experience, currently building next-gen Customer Service systems at Amazon. My career spans backend engineering, large-scale system design, and leading high-impact teams across financial services and e-commerce domains. At Amazon, I’ve led transformation of complex product spaces like privacy and security, moving them from high-effort, low-compliance areas to low-friction, high-compliance ecosystems with strong builder adoption and senior leadership visibility. This work earned me a US patent (US12067017B1) for scalable privacy enforcement across distributed systems. I also managed and expanded Amazon’s core platform service that enables builders to create Amazon-worthy Tier-1 services capable of handling over 1 million TPS. This platform cut undifferentiated builder effort from months to days and freed up scarce Sr. Engg capacity to focus on differentiated innovation. Earlier, I delivered business-critical solutions in banking and finance—spanning PnL, risk, cash and cost management, compliance, market contracts, and incentive systems. I’ve built robust backbone platforms including low-latency, high-throughput transaction stores, broker data warehouses, and reference data systems. I excel at disambiguating complex goals, managing execution through clear ownership, and scaling teams by coaching—not control. Rather than being a one-person, ever-present force, I drive outcomes through actionable feedback and well-placed nudges that empower engineers to think independently and execute with clarity. My focus on transparent planning and early risk detection has led to 90%+ improvements in team throughput, fostering alignment, accountability, and a strong sense of ownership within the team. I partner closely with product and business to align delivery with value, ensuring we invest at the right level of speed, cost, and quality based on the risk envelope the business is willing to accept—not just what’s technically ideal.
