👋 About Me

Engineering leader with 15+ years building and scaling distributed systems and high-performing global teams across SaaS, MarTech, BNPL, and PropTech — spanning India 🇮🇳, Singapore 🇸🇬, and Malaysia 🇲🇾.

Currently a Senior Engineering Manager at Docusign (Marketing Technology), leading cross-continental teams across Bengaluru and San Francisco. I partner with Product, Business, and Data stakeholders to translate real customer needs into scalable platform capabilities — and I'm actively targeting Director / VP Engineering roles globally.

My focus: building platforms that actually move the needle for customers, not just engineering metrics.
