With experience across diverse roles—from engineering contributor to technical lead—I bring a blend of leadership, collaboration, and hands-on technical expertise to every project. My experience cuts across many sectors like e-commerce, eduTech, healthTech, propertyTech, finTech and more.My toolkit includes modern frameworks like Laravel, MERN, and TALL, and extends to cutting-edge technologies such as AI integration and Large Language Models (LLMs).In my current role, I lead engineering efforts at VASTel Solutions, managing the entire software development lifecycle and aligning cross-functional teams to deliver scalable, high-performing systems.
