About

I'm a Strategic Engineering Professional with over 8 years of experiencebuilding and scaling platforms within fast-growing technology environments. Currently based in Gurugram, I've spent the majority of my career at Urban Company, where I grew from a frontend engineer to Engineering Manager overseeing the entire partner delivery ecosystem.

My work sits at the intersection of backend architecture, fraud detection, and engineering governance. I care deeply about designing systems that are not just scalable, but maintainable — systems that teams can reason about and operate confidently in production.

Beyond code, I invest heavily in team building and technical mentorship, helping engineers develop ownership and depth. When I'm not building systems, I'm writing about them — sharing lessons from the trenches of platform engineering.
