Since graduating from Birla Institute of Technology and Science in Pilani, India in 2013, the ethos of my career has always been "Never Stop Building".

The six years I spent with my first employer was a crazy rollercoaster ride, building several products all in different domains:  consumer e-commerce, private label furniture, social media application, and a SAAS product to help companies run crypto-backed token economies.

In early 2020, I joined Coupa, a leader in the Business Spend Management community, and over the last two years with them as they’ve grown from under 1000 to nearly 3500 employees overall, I have transitioned from an individual contributor role to an Engineering Manager role.
