I've led impactful projects, mentored engineers, and fostered innovation within organizations. I've also delivered numerous product features for the Qualtrics analytics dashboard and addressed challenging performance and reliability issues at scale. Currently, I'm leading the effort for semantic search as a platform service to empower the Qualtrics' generative AI dashboard assistant. Prior to Qualtrics, I worked as a Software Engineer at Goldman Sachs in Salt Lake City, where I designed a Push Notification system and a distributed caching service. I also worked on payment-related cron jobs. My earlier experience at TCS involved building and supporting return/refund workflows for Walmart's Customer Service Management team.
