Currently managing a cross-functional team of 8+ engineers and QA across geographies (India, Europe, UK), working closely with product and UX stakeholders to deliver customer-centric solutions.
Strong advocate of agile engineering practices, infusing test-driven development (TDD), pair programming, and continuous delivery to ensure scalable architecture and rapid iteration. Outside of my day job, I build and launch my own products — from idea and design through to production on Google Play and the web.
