Strengths
Interested in working involving
I’m looking for a role where I can help shape the engineering culture from the ground up, by applying my hands-on experience to build scalable, high-quality solutions and guide technical direction.

Drawn to Fintech and Mobile solutions more, while open to any tech leadership.
Other information
I'm passionately looking forward to a change which I can commit for at least next 10yrs. This cover letter and CV may not capture the learnings, passion, willingness to succeed, and my 20+ years of work experience, but still, it is just my attempt. I have worked in India, USA, Singapore, NZ, and now AU. Apart from work experience listed in CV through Firmware Software, Mobile apps development, recently been vibecoding on personal SaaS project (Webapp utilising React, Node.js, Google Cloud & Firebase) that keeps me updated with learning. I’m passionate about Fintech & Mobile apps Software Development, leveraging AI, leading teams, inspiring, and bringing the best out of resources. I’m stepping up to utilize my 20+ years of Software Engineering and Leadership experience to help define roadmaps, achieve them, and take products to market. At Visa, I led a mobile-focused initiative, delivering Android and iOS push provisioning to wallet that involved integrations across backend services, mobile apps, Apple Pay for iOS, and Google Wallet for Android.I’ve previously worked in consumer tech, automotive, and smart devices—navigating compliance-heavy environments while ensuring agility and product velocity. My leadership style is people-first, which takes care of itself being outcome-focused. I’ve supported CTOs in platform strategy, hiring, and managing teams/projects. PS: Recently, I led a team that took part in an AI hackathon competition held within Visa, and came first among 14 others and also got People’s award. It was about the prompt that saves maximum time and effort.
