Lead Software Engineer / Lead Platform Engineer
Architecting Scalable Platforms & iPaaS
Highly versatile Lead Software Engineer with 7+ years architecting and scaling enterprise-grade platforms that power communication, integration, and automation workloads. I obsess over developer productivity and platform reliability, pairing strong systems design instincts with a data-informed leadership style.
Currently driving platform modernization at Freshworks—designing resilient microservices in Java/Node.js, leading the rollout of a Conductor-powered iPaaS, and shaping omnichannel communication services that support 100K+ daily interactions with sub-100 ms latencies.
Proven track record orchestrating cross-functional programs, guiding rookies to impact, and shipping scalable systems that keep customer experiences flawless.
Freshworks Lead Platform Engineer shaping the next-gen integration platform. Java, Spring WebFlux, Netflix Conductor, AWS, Kubernetes.
Active on GitHub with Pull Shark ×3 recognition, five public repositories, and a focus on backend tooling, Elasticsearch, and JavaScript ecosystems.
Recent activity spans contributions to Kogito tooling, Mongoose, Elasticsearch forks, and hands-on coding challenges that sharpen distributed-systems instincts.
Highlights from recent pull requests focused on improving Netflix Conductor’s workflow introspection and developer ergonomics.

Added task domain metadata into `workflow_summary`, making it easier to group, filter, and surface workflows that rely on specific task domains inside Freshworks’ iPaaS orchestration layer.
Building reliable platforms calls for a carefully balanced stack and a strong bias for automation. These are the tools that power my day to day.
