About
From part-time developer to product leader
I'm a product-minded engineer and technology leader based in Vapi, Gujarat, India. I started writing code in 2011 as a part-time developer and have spent the years since building software across nearly every layer of the stack — from freelance client websites to enterprise product platforms. Today I lead Product Development, Engineering and DevOps as Head of Product Development at YallaPay, a fintech e-wallet company, where I work at the intersection of team leadership, product strategy and hands-on architecture. Along the way I've been an IT Head, a Product Manager and a Team Lead driving digital transformation — and I still take on select freelance projects for clients who need a partner who can own a build end to end. I also shape UI/UX, design systems and brand direction so complex products feel clear, consistent and trusted.
Full-stack depth
.NET, Node.js, Python, Next.js, React & Flutter — comfortable owning a product from database to UI.
Team & product leadership
From IT Head to Product Manager to Head of Product Development — leading engineers and shaping roadmaps.
Infra that scales
AWS, microservices and DevOps practices behind products that need to stay up and move fast.
UI/UX & brand systems
Designing clear product experiences, visual systems and brand touchpoints that make complex products feel effortless.

Experience & journey
