Problem Solving

Excellent in analysis and fixing bugs quickly

With over 15 years of experience in software development, I've spent the past decade architecting and building enterprise solutions, including seven years focused on large-scale commerce platforms. For the last five years, I've worked as an Architect, backed by certifications as a SAFe Agilist, Scrum Master, and Acquia Triple Certified Architect.

I collaborate daily with business stakeholders to understand their challenges and translate them into practical, scalable solutions. Whether delivering new product features or resolving production issues, I rely on deep technical expertise to drive outcomes that align with business goals. Working closely with my team, I ensure seamless implementation while fostering a culture of continuous improvement.

I also partner with fellow architects and managers to refine processes, increase project visibility, and improve overall workflow efficiency. This collaborative approach helps maintain an agile, transparent environment where teams stay aligned and progress is consistently measured.

Career Highlight

Started career with one of the biggest Drupal projects in India - XIX Common Wealth Games 2010, which was in Drupal 6 and required supporting IE6 and accessibility compliance.

Provided onsite support during the event, handling frontend, backend, and security - all while still on probation in my first job!
