P. I joined the business at the very beginning of their journey. During my tenure, we grew from a newly launched business to a global media powerhouse (consistently ranking among the 10 most visited news and market data websites) serving xxxM MAU at our peak, making $xxxM ARR in Ads revenue, launching a Subscriptions business and growing it to be a bigger revenue stream than Ads with another $xxxM in ARR.I led engineering teams responsible for all aspects of the business including the Core Website & Mobile apps, Audience & Engagement Growth, Subscriptions & Ads Revenue, Editorial & Internal Tools and the Core Infrastructure & Platforms. The skill sets of the engineers and managers I managed spanned the entire spectrum including AI / ML, Data, Cloud, Full-stack, Backend, Frontend, Mobile, Search, and Infrastructure/Devops. I also built strong relationships with senior leaders (“Head of”) across functions including Product, Marketing, Ads, Editorial and Analytics and partnered with them to drive strategy and ensure smooth execution.Among other things, I built Bloomberg Media’s Data and AI / ML practice from scratch and scaled & modernized the overall architecture and infrastructure to handle the business’ growth. I built several teams from the ground up and mentored & promoted multiple engineering leaders. I led the modernization of our tech stack to be cloud native and oversaw a large-scale migration of hundreds of microservices involving 100+ engineers to the public cloud. We built a homegrown PaaS platform that abstracted away public clouds and a private OpenStack based cloud to automate and streamline the entire lifecycle of infrastructure management across clouds, including upgrades and security patches. I also led the strategy and delivery of key platforms including Data Lake, Tagger, Personalization, A/B Testing & Targeting, Editorial Publishing & Curation, Notifications and so on. Show less
