Overview

Engineering Manager at Meesho, focused on developer tools. Moved 72% of developer experience traffic off a legacy monolith without a customer-facing incident. Led the migration of 57 services to Rust. Before that: Swiggy and Infosys. Most at home with Rust and compilers. I coach a junior basketball team.
