• Lead engineer for BITRIA, overseeing backend architecture, a robust release management (~daily deployments), and DevOps post-acquisition.

• Architected the Exchange Platform Automations (EPA) framework spanning 6+ organizations and thousands of tests, reducing test cycles from hours to seconds and unifying quality across the exchange.

• Designed, built, and maintained core trading-system architecture and trade-bot frameworks simulating real-world exchange activity for both internal and customer environments.

• AI Champion: Drove AI adoption company-wide by building and demoing custom GPT solutions to 500+ attendees; accelerated engineering and change-management workflows, saving thousands of developer hours.

• Mentored teams on Django, testing frameworks, and AI-driven best practices; expanded company visibility into next-gen engineering standards.

• Led international training of dozens of engineers; consistently delivered under tight deadlines with measurable impact.

• Played a key role in Gemini’s IPO by ensuring exchange-wide stability; the EPA test suite I architected remains the primary quality platform driving all validation and release readiness across the company.

• Led backend architecture from day zero, designing the core services, domain models, and event-driven state systems that powered every trading, portfolio, and money-movement workflow.

• Influenced early product direction through rapid feedback loops with founders, directly shaping the 0→1 platform that scaled from zero customers to $30M AUM and ultimately drove Bitria’s acquisition by Gemini.

• Functioned as the CTO’s technical right hand, leading critical engineering initiatives, driving decision-making, and shaping the platform’s evolution across the company’s entire lifecycle.

• Built the fee engine and transaction lifecycle pipelines—every dollar in the platform flowed through systems I architected, including fee calculations, reconciliations, order routing, and compliance-critical state transitions.

• Designed and implemented major REST APIs and third-party integrations, enabling onboarding, portfolio construction, rebalancing, and trade automation for institutional clients.

• Parallelized and optimized key financial processes, transforming multi-minute sequential workflows into fast, scalable pipelines that supported real-time trading and rapidly growing AUM.

• Created the automated test framework and high-coverage suite used across engineering; drove major runtime reductions and set engineering standards later adopted by teams such as Nifty Gateway post-acquisition.

• Acted as the primary technical liaison with early customers across pre-sales and post-sales cycles, translating vague application and operational requirements into robust product and system design.

• Produced foundational internal documentation such as architecture guides, onboarding materials, runbooks, and coding standards which formalized engineering practice as the team grew.

• Built enterprise license-compliance and automation adapters processing millions of assets across 70K+ users, and architected the CI/CD pipelines and automated ops workflows (Python) that powered FNMS + AppBroker at global scale.

• Led Flexera FNMS + App Broker platform engineering, including enterprise deployments across Oracle, Microsoft, Salesforce, Adobe, and VMware.

• Designed automation frameworks (Java) used across Unified Monitoring, AI Ops, MDM, improving reporting and eliminating legacy bottlenecks.

• Co-developed a modern, cloud-based Telephone Number Management tool using Angular + Spring Boot.

• Created a Selenium end-to-end test automation suite adopted across multiple teams.

• Mentored 10+ engineers (US/India) in development, automation, observability, and AIOps best practices.
