With over two decades of experience in the technology sector, my journey began at Infosys, where I worked with global clients like NTT Docomo and British Telecom, tackling the challenges of deploying reliable networking technologies at scale. As I moved on to Redback Networks and Juniper, I deepened my expertise in data center technologies, working on cutting-edge projects that pushed the boundaries of distributed systems and control plane infrastructure.At Google, I reached a pivotal point in my career. Leading the development of the world’s largest data center network was both a high-stakes challenge and a career-defining opportunity. The sheer scale of the project, coupled with the responsibility of building infrastructure capable of handling billions of users globally, brought moments of intense pressure. Leading teams, making critical technical decisions that impacted Google’s core operations, and driving machine learning systems adopted by over 30 teams was both rewarding and demanding. However, despite the successes, I often felt that in such a vast ecosystem, the connection between groundbreaking technology and its tangible impact on individual users and businesses was diluted.That realization ultimately drove me to co-found Conversant. I wanted to create a platform where technology could deliver more direct, meaningful value for users. Conversant was born from a desire to simplify the often overwhelming process of product research in industries like e-commerce. Our goal is to transform complex data and product specifications into intuitive, engaging experiences that empower businesses and their customers alike. Today, as Co-Founder and CTO, I’m focused on making product research smarter and more accessible, while continuing to mentor and inspire the next generation of engineers.
