I’m an Engineering Manager at Visa Inc., leading a team of 10+ engineers building large-scale Foreign Exchange (FX) platforms that power global cross-border payments. I started my journey from a tier-2 college and worked my way up through Bank of America and Reliance Jio to reach where I am today. Along the way, I’ve cracked product-based companies, built high-scale backend systems, and transitioned from an individual contributor to an engineering leader. I’ve designed and scaled systems handling real-time transactions for global banks, improved API performance to sub-30ms latency, and led critical migrations impacting millions of users. Skills - Java, Spring Boot, Kafka, GenAI (RAG, Agentic Workflows, MCP)
