I dreamed of soaring through the skies as a fighter jet pilot as a child. But, growing up in a middle-class Indian family in the 90s, the career options were often limited to two paths: Engineering or Medicine. My love for mathematics and problem-solving, combined with a budding passion for software and C/C++, naturally steered me toward a career in technology.Career Highlights:1. Architecting and Building: I've had the opportunity to architect, design, deliver, and scale flagship desktop products, PC games, mobile applications, and web services. Currently, I am architecting and building Adobe's Internal Developer Platform (IDP), which scales to tens of thousands of services and developers and acts as a productivity multiplier for Adobe's developers.2. Versatile Experience: My journey spans individual contributor and managerial roles, giving me a unique perspective on the motivations and challenges from both sides of the fence.3. Wearing Multiple Hats: In my managerial roles, particularly in “startup-like” projects, I've worn various hats — engineering manager, people manager, architect, product manager, program manager, quality manager, and developer. This experience has honed my skills in ruthless prioritization and time management, ensuring that I deliver effectively across multiple roles.4. Diverse Work Environments: My career path has taken me from a services-based startup to a product-based Fortune 500 enterprise, a leader in multiple verticals. This has instilled in me the agility of a startup while adhering to the rigorous standards and guardrails of a global enterprise.5. Domain Expertise: I bring rich experience across a variety of domains, including Personal and Small Business Finance, PC Gaming, Vector Graphics, Desktop Publishing, Color Themes, Digital Imaging, Analytics, Asset Management, and Developer Platforms.6. Global Perspective: Having lived in both India and the US, and worked with diverse teams across geographies, I've gained a global perspective on cultures, people, and collaboration.Personal Interests:In my free time, I find joy in music and sports, which keep me energized and balanced.
