About Me

Frontend and mobile engineering leader with 16 years of experience building component-driven UI architectures across web, iOS, and Android - with deep hands-on expertise in React, React Native, SwiftUI, and Java. Skilled at translating design intent into reusable, cross-platform component libraries, rapid-prototyping UI concepts to validate ideas early, and enforcing visual and functional consistency across large, distributed engineering teams.

Combines strong front-end craftsmanship with program-level delivery experience across payroll, healthcare, and financial services, including recent work spanning classical (pre-LLM) machine learning through modern LLM-based systems.

Program Manager
Vensure HCM Private Limited

Architected and developed native iOS interface components using SwiftUI alongside reusable, cross-platform React Native components - establishing consistent UI patterns, optimizing component lifecycles, and ensuring high-performance rendering across iOS and Android.

Rapid-prototyped UI flows and interaction patterns for payroll platform features, iterating quickly with stakeholders to validate design direction ahead of full-scale development.

Conceptualized and delivered an AI-driven internal matchmaking platform that assigns specialized payroll experts to client accounts via data-driven complexity scoring - built on classical (pre-LLM) machine-learning ranking models with grounding and guardrails to prevent hallucinated recommendations, reducing manual assignment effort by ~40%.

Drove mission-critical, highly secure payroll technology programs, ensuring 100% data integrity, regulatory compliance, and seamless cross-border disbursement engineering at enterprise scale.

Built and championed an internal application to prioritize the delivery backlog, scoring work items by business value, effort, and risk to rank them automatically - sharpening sprint focus and cutting time spent on manual grooming.

Mentored scrum masters and project managers across multiple concurrent delivery streams, driving a 25% increase in Agile maturity and cross-team collaboration.
