• There was a time the team was developed a search optimization capbility for users based on given requirements by product manager, so it could add more search filters for faster accessibility so . I asked the team to create demo on dev environment and to show customer, in order to make sure it is aligned with users need. I scheduled the meeting and we showed the demo, suddenly we undrestood all the usecase were not covered by program manager which lead to poor design it means some of the file type were not identified by specific locations. And that wasn't a feature for customer. On the other side we didn't have enough time. Since we needed to release this feature on time and as manula accessibility got block the program ​

• So I pushed the product manager to schedule meeting with diverse useres to make sure to capture diverse uses cases. I put together team and we discussed on options and tried reestimate we identified that by one more api resource we can have this feature on time. So I escalae that to leadership since the timeline was crucial for them, they assign api resource from india Lesson learned: 25 percent ​

Thank you for the question. I have been working as a data engineer for a combined total of three years, working closely with business leaders and engineers at different enterprises. where my main focus and speciality was in building reliable data pipelines that supports business decision making. I also have experience running a solo consultancy firm, where I have had the opportunity to consult and build end to end data products for businesses, which has allowed to be explore and hone my leadership, and communication skills on top of my technical expertise. Above all. in addition to the skills  I have learnt over the last three years, my experience in academia, especially as a consequence of my PhD research, I have a strong preference and a proven track record  in delivering complex analytical tasks.  All of the above essentially package me up as  an ideal candidate for this role.

I believe my biggest achievement is building a high performing team amongst a lot of chaos. I started as an engineering manager for replenishment team, soon due to restructuring I was asked to lead a different BU called Parcel and I was given the team from scratch, 8 months into this I heard the leadership is deciding to put Parcel on KTLO and give me a new tier 1 service called channels. This service was highly unstable with a lot of issues and tech debt. This service was transitioned among 4 engg manager in past three years (4th me). 

TASK

My job was to do a successful transition of this service and keep the team motivated

Actions

- When I got to. know about Parcel KTLO and having a new product under me, I wanted to ensure this is communicated to the team clearly with empathy and I wanted to ensure the team that this will only benefit their growth

- I started with a team meeting, shared a couple of wins that we did in parcel, shared even though we did so much, Parcel is being put on KTLO for various xyz reasons.

- I told them every crisis situation is an opportunity and by channels coming under us, we can showcase that even the toughest of the services can be maintained if the tech debt is continuously addressed

- Post team meeting I kept 1:1 with every member and listened them, helped answer their questions

- A couple of team members did share that they felt proud about what they developed in Parcel and were feeling sad that it was going in KTLO.

- I shared that products coming in KTLO happens sometime and this in no way reflects the teams performance, infact our teams reputation is very good amongst the leaders thats why they have given us the most important service (which is also in the worst shape)

- Under previous engg managers there was minimal to no improvement in the service on tech and product side because they were busy fixing on call issues

- I worked with the team to fix this by assigning ywo people to on call and rest two on fixing the issues from root cause. 

- In a couple of months this gave us brwating space since the oncall issues reduced directly impacting reduction in customer queries

- We got appreciated by leadership for this

Result

- Team members were highly motivated

- Learnt a lot

- Got appreciated by leadership for this hard works

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.

At my current job one of our biggest customer raised the  issue they were facing in our notification service. The issue was they were not receiving any notifications from our system on their new infrastructure. Their production infra was working fine.

I reviewed their configuration and everything was looking fine at the same time we hadn't done any changes to on our end which could cause this issue. Since their contract was up for renewal the issue, we needed quick resolution. I setup a live debugging session with customer to understand the issue in detail and their new infrastructure. After the first call it was clear that the issue was happening during https handshake or at network layer. To keep the momentum going I setup recurring call with with them and assured them that we are treating this as a high priority. On the next call I involved our security expert and SRE team for further debugging. However the issue not futher progress was made, at this point I insisted SRE team that we contact Azure support to understand if there is any issue at the tcp layer. Azure team looked at the turned on debug logs and found that our network was default MTU (maximum transmission unit) was higher than customers network MTU and customer network was dropping packets.

Finally I worked with SRE team to lower our MTU to match the customer configuration and ran tests. After the config change issue was resolved, our customer confirmed that they could see the notifications. This was really difficult issue I had ran across but I worked with various teams to get to the bottom of it and delivered results to customers satisfaction.

I have been working on same project since last 3 years, I want to explore different projects and learn new skills and Technologies with current market trends

During my career I manage a large number of projects, but one of the most challenging ones was the development and launch of a Telematic Control Unit for an important car maker in Japan. The project is important to me due to technical challenges we faced, the skills I applied and the impact on the company.

As Program manager my role was to lead a cross-functional team including Design Engineers, SW Engineers, Operations teams, Material procurement teams, quality and logistics, among others to successfully launch the product to mass production.

First, I kicked-off the project. For that, I shared with the team the project scope, the goals to achieve, I shared the project plan with key milestones and defined the roles and responsibilities for the different team members.

During execution, to maintain a clear communication, I set up design review sessions with the entire engineering organization to ensure everyone was aligned and fixing potential issues in advance. Besides, I led a weekly core-team meeting where we assigned tasks to team members, and setting clear deadlines for each task. To make these tasks easier to manage, I made sure tasks were broken down into manageable sizes with clear descriptions and acceptance criteria. This helped the team to stay focus on their deliveries and maintain speed.

Another important part was to manages Risks. I worked with the team to identify and classify possible risk that might impact to the project deliverables. We defined a Risk matrix to monitor during the development process, and also a project board with the main KPIs to achieve during each stage of the project.

To ensure quality, we defined different testing processes focused on the design, and the process. We installed specific quality check for the documents and devices delivered for each of the milestones of the PDP, as well as a clear quality control in mass production.

Finally, for transparency, I reported on monthly basis to our company leaders and customer about the project status, focusing on Timing, cost, quality and scope.

By employing these strategies, we successfully launched our module on time matching with all the requirements defined by our customer. This was a great example of teamworking, and taught me the importance of breaking down large projects into smaller and easy to manage pieces. Transparent and clear communication was also a great lesson learned. This approach helped me to improve in leading teams through complex problems.
