I have enjoyed my time at Teradata, where I've gained valuable experience as a
Senior Software Engineer II, contributing to impactful projects like the Java
OTF, performance optimization, and open-source Iceberg Parquet bug fixes.
However, I’m now seeking opportunities that align with my long-term career goals
of advancing into a Staff or Senior Staff Software Engineer role, where I can
take on greater responsibilities in design, architecture, and feature
development.
The opportunity at GEICO, particularly in the Data Lakehouse space, excites me
because it presents the chance to work at the forefront of innovative data
technologies, contributing to meaningful solutions at scale. I’m eager to
leverage my expertise in Spark, Iceberg, and distributed systems while
continuing to grow as an engineer and a leader in the field

In my next role, I want to scale the impact I’ve had as a founder within a
collaborative product team. I’ve successfully grown a brand, launched products,
and solved complex problems under pressure — skills directly relevant to product
management. For example, I led a 75-person research study using surveys,
testing, and interviews. The feedback was fragmented, but by clustering
responses I identified seven universal shades that became a top performer. That
reinforced my problem-solving approach: take ambiguity, synthesize insights, and
turn them into clear, data-driven decisions.

What excites me about Faire is applying those strengths with the rigor of
frameworks and the collaboration of a talented team. I thrive at connecting
vision to execution, rallying people around ideas, and delivering measurable
outcomes. And Faire’s mission — helping retailers discover unique makers and
stories — deeply aligns with how I’ve always worked: building at the
intersection of culture, storytelling, and commerce

I’m looking for a new opportunity where I can scale the impact of my programs
and drive complex technical initiatives at a global level. In my current and
past roles, I’ve led large enterprise cloud transformation and
multi-million-dollar programs, but I want to work in an environment like Google,
where the scale, complexity, and innovation of the programs allow me to grow
further as a TPM.

I’m motivated by challenges that require aligning multiple cross-functional
teams, managing technical trade-offs, and delivering high-quality outcomes, and
I see Google as the ideal place to continue building on these strengths while
contributing to world-class systems and products.”

I have reached a point where I would like to challenge myself to a new
environment and experience how software is built at scale for a product I
regularly use and which excels at allowing teams to proactively find critical
issues and drive system maturity. I have worked on projects that span the entire
product ecosystem and core services, which enabled me to make an impact on the
entire engineering organization. From being involved in massive system, data and
infrastructure migrations to improving software delivery process, to improving
the culture by introducing Demo Days and Technical touch points, I would like to
apply these same principles (and even improve on them) at a larger organization.

I’ve reached a point where I want to apply my ML engineering leadership to more
consumer-facing, global-scale experiences. I’ve built and maintained core ML
products at my current company , but I’m excited for an environment where
experimentation velocity, embeddings, retrieval, and personalization are central
to the product. Your company's mission and ML challenges align directly with
what I want to do next.

I graduated in May 2024 and recently wrapped up my role at Bright Mind
Enrichment. It was a great experience, and I stayed through my agreed-upon
commitment.  At this point, I’m looking for a full-time opportunity that offers
deeper ownership, long-term growth, and technical mentorship—especially in a
full-stack environment like Atlassian’s.

I am really grateful for my time in Bajaj Fiserv and the many learning
opportunities I have had with working on varied financial products like EMI
card, Credit card, onboarding process, the investment mall, home loan, personal
loan. This has helped me grow professionally and personally as well. But now I
am looking for more challenges and learning opportunities.  I believe working in
Grow, in a  dynamic environment would allow to handle newer challenges and newer
opportunities. and because Groww is moving towards a very similar financial
domain that i have my skillset and experience in, i will be able to support them
in their future endeavours.

“At ALLEN, I worked on building for students in Tier 2/3 markets, which gave me
strong experience in researching constrained contexts and translating insights
into product direction, thereby building products that were fine tuned to that
market. Now I’m looking to take on more challenging, higher-scale problems and
expand into new user segments. This role stands out because it matches my
strengths and gives me the kind of scope and ownership I’m ready for next.”

While I have had a great experiences at ALLEN building high impact products. I
have realised that Ed tech may not be the space I see myself in long term. The
industry faces structural challenges, especially with offline still being the
dominant preference in India. Unacademy and byjus have further created
apprehension in the minds of users when it comes to online education.
