Senior Engineering Manager @ Paytm

From code to leadership

I'm a Freelance Technical Consultant with over 13 years in the fintech space. I've worn many hats — developer, architect, CTO, engineering manager, and now consultant helping agencies and startups build scalable solutions.

Most recently, I served as Senior Engineering Manager at Paytm's Gold Division. Before that, I was CTO at GetPlus (acquired by Paytm), where I helped secure $800K in funding and built the technical foundation that led to the acquisition.

I specialize in payment systems, event management platforms, compliance implementations (GDPR, SOC2 Type 2), and enterprise automation. When I'm not building products, you'll find me writing on BerozgaarCoder, playing chess, or diving into cricket statistics.
