Full-Stack Engineering Leader | Director of Engineering at PayU Credit
As a seasoned full-stack engineering leader, I currently serve as the Director of Engineering at PayU Credit, where I lead a team of 30+ engineers in scaling our mobile and web platforms, while optimizing the performance and reliability of backend services. My core focus is driving innovative solutions that enhance user experiences, scale seamlessly, and deliver robust outcomes in high-performance environments.
With over a decade of experience developing customer-facing applications, I specialize in crafting highly scalable systems using the latest in cutting-edge technologies. My work spans industries including FinTech, Gaming, Entertainment, Healthcare, and eCommerce, allowing me to bring a diverse, holistic approach to technical leadership.
Recognized as a Google Developer Expert in Firebase, I leverage my expertise to integrate real-time, cloud-based solutions into consumer applications, helping businesses innovate faster and smarter.
Iβm equally passionate about mentoring. As a mentor at Scaler, I take pride in guiding the next generation of engineering talent, helping them unlock their potential and build meaningful careers in tech.
A proud alumnus of the National Institute of Technology, Tiruchirappalli, my journey has included leading large, cross-functional teams at companies like Disney+ Hotstar, Mobile Premier League, InCred, 1mg, and Oracle. From handling architectural overhauls to managing large-scale project deliveries, I ensure that teams remain aligned with business goals while pushing technical boundaries.
I'm driven by the ethos of continuous improvement β as both an engineer and a leader. I constantly explore new technologies and open-source repositories to stay at the forefront of modern engineering trends. This drive feeds directly into my leadership approach, where I emphasize innovation and sustainable growth.
In my downtime, you'll often find me immersed in board games like Monopoly and Life, or diving into the latest articles on emerging technologies to bring fresh ideas back to the table.
Iβm always open to connecting with like-minded professionals. Letβs collaborate and build the future together! π
