Two decades, one throughline: turning ideas into products that work and scale.
- Cut my teeth on C++ and MFC at a small Indian software company.
- Moved to a startup building video codecs and ActiveX controls.
- Spent years at a 100 year old global enterprise — shipping postage printers with Qt, postage label generation with Java Web services.
- Moved to Workforce solutions. Created integration solutions, led architecture of Platform engineering.
Today, I'm building inbound supply chain solutions in Java and Kotlin on AWS for one of Europe's largest fashion houses.
