Lead Mobile & Full-Stack Engineer

I'm a passionate engineer based in Bangalore, India, specializing in iOS, Backend, and Cross-Platform development. With over a decade of experience, I've built production apps used by millions across IoT, Banking, Healthcare, Media, and E-Commerce.

Currently leading a team of 6 at Jio Platforms Limited, driving technical excellence on the Tira Beauty app. I reduced cart load time from 9s to 3s, improved app startup by 18%, and helped grow the App Store rating from 3.7 to 4.0.

I also build AI-driven solutions powered by LLMs β€” including product recommendation agents using ChatGPT for intelligent personalization.
