Lead Software Engineer with 5+ years of hands-on expertise in full-stack development, distributed systems, and AI-driven solutions. I lead a 10-engineer team across system design, architecture, and code review for scalable, multilingual, and intelligent platforms serving enterprise customers.

Much of that work has been forward deployed — embedded directly with enterprise customers, turning a business problem into a running system. I have shipped alongside Mahindra Tractors on national campaigns reaching 350,000+ users, and onboarded 10+ enterprise customers onto our localization platform, owning the path from discovery through integration to production support.

01

Forward deployed delivery

Embedding with enterprise customers and shipping in their environment — scoping the real problem, integrating against their stack, and staying on it through production. Mahindra Tractors reached 350,000+ users; 10+ enterprise customers onboarded to our platform.

02

Applied AI

Shipping LLM features that hold up in production: agentic pipelines, RAG, speech and vision workflows, and QC agents that catch errors before release.

03

Systems & architecture

Designing distributed, event-driven services — microservices, queues, and cloud-native infrastructure that scale predictably and stay cheap to run.

04

Leading engineers

Running a 10-person team across system design, roadmap and code review — building the standards and review culture that keep quality high as we scale.

Currently open to new roles

  • Lead / Staff Engineer
  • Engineering Team Lead
  • Forward Deployed Engineer
  • Senior Full-Stack & AI Engineer
02Experience

Five roles, one company, one compounding thesis.

Every promotion widened the surface area — from writing translation modules, to owning the platform, to leading the team that builds it.

5 roles

  • Leading engineering for Vitra.ai Universe, an agentic AI platform that creates, personalizes, and translates video, image, website, and document content into 75+ languages, adapted to feel native in each market.
  • Leading a 10-engineer team across system design, roadmap, and code review.
  • Built QC agents that catch errors pre-release, with pipelines running up to 100x faster than manual workflows at 99.5%+ uptime on cost-optimized AWS.
