About
I've spent nearly two decades building software, from distributed systems and APIs to document platforms that power millions of workflows. Along the way, I discovered that the most satisfying work happens when you bring talented people together around a clear problem and let them own it.
The Journey
My fascination with computers started in high school when I built my own PC and wrote my first program that ran on it. That curiosity grew into a passion for web development, and I ended up leading the computer science club at university. The realization that software could simplify people's lives set me on this path.
After university, I built enterprise systems for Fortune 500 clients at Infosys in India. I moved to the US for graduate school, and what was supposed to be a short stay turned into a career. I spent five years at PowerSchool building compliance and state reporting systems for a global education platform serving over 100 million users, including the CRDC data collection platform that scaled nationwide. That's where I learned what it means to build software that people actually depend on.
In 2016, I joined Workday. I started as an engineer building the first version of Workday Planning, then moved into API platform work for Productivity Suite, and eventually found my way to leading Core Platform Services in the Business Process Documents space. Today I lead multiple teams building the document generation platform, the template engine behind Workday Docs, and microservices handling enterprise-scale traffic. The documents we generate, offer letters, invoices, compensation statements, touch millions of users every day and help handle Workday's most business critical operations where downtime is not an option and resiliency is key to success.
I also balance hands-on architecture with coaching the next generation of technical leaders. I connect cross-functional teams, make pragmatic architectural choices, and make sure we hit our business objectives within budget. Most days that means figuring out how to make our platforms more reliable while helping engineers grow into the leaders their teams need. I wrote about that transition on the Workday Life Blog.
The thread through all of it: I like building things that work reliably, at scale, for real people. And I like doing it with teams that care about the craft.

Beyond the Code
Outside of work, I make music (SoundCloud, Spotify), explore visual art, and write about the intersection of technology and life. I live in the San Francisco Bay Area and I'm always happy to grab coffee or hop on a call.
