About

I am a Senior Solutions Architect at MongoDB, helping leading BFSI, Quick commerce, and E-commerce organizations modernize their applications and unlock the power of data with the MongoDB developer data platform. My focus is on enabling enterprises to innovate faster, scale with confidence, and simplify their data infrastructure by adopting cloud-native, developer-friendly solutions. Previously, at Google Cloud, I partnered with FinTechs, digital natives, and startups to drive digital transformation through cloud solutions, modern application platforms, DevOps, and automation. With over 14 years of industry experience, I bring a strong background in digital transformation, cloud computing, and modern application architectures to help businesses solve their most complex technical and business challenges. I am based in Mumbai, and the best way to reach me is here on LinkedIn!
