I am an award winning executive technical leader with 15 years of experience. Key highlights of my career include 6 years at Microsoft (Redmond, WA) building features for Windows and Outlook followed by 5 years as the founding member, CTO & CPO of a fintech startup where I built the tech platform from scratch and took the company from zero to 200M USD in revenue. I enjoy building scalable, robust solutions to achieve business goals and possess a strong ability to learn. I also serve on advisory board of few startups.
I am also recipient of the prestigious Erasmus Mundus Scholarship program in Network and e Business Centred Computing (given by the European Union). Was one of the 30 students selected worldwide and one of 2 from India for this program.
I volunteer for social causes from time to time. I am active meditator (Vipassana).
