Driven by technical passion and curiosity, I build trading systems, tools, and applications at Gemini, including serving as backend lead for the BITRIA product, which was successfully acquired.
San Francisco Bay Area
Lead engineer for BITRIA, overseeing backend architecture, a robust release management (~daily deployments), and DevOps post-acquisition.
Architected the Exchange Platform Automations (EPA) framework spanning 6+ organizations and thousands of tests, reducing test cycles from hours to seconds and unifying quality across the exchange.
Designed, built, and maintained core trading-system architecture and trade-bot frameworks simulating real-world exchange activity for both internal and customer environments.
AI Champion: Drove AI adoption company-wide by building and demoing custom GPT solutions to 500+ attendees; accelerated engineering and change-management workflows, saving thousands of developer hours.
Mentored teams on Django, testing frameworks, and AI-driven best practices; expanded company visibility into next-gen engineering standards.
Led international training of dozens of engineers; consistently delivered under tight deadlines with measurable impact.
Played a key role in Gemini’s IPO by ensuring exchange-wide stability; the EPA test suite I architected remains the primary quality platform driving all validation and release readiness across the company.
Led backend architecture from day zero, designing the core services, domain models, and event-driven state systems that powered every trading, portfolio, and money-movement workflow.
Influenced early product direction through rapid feedback loops with founders, directly shaping the 0→1 platform that scaled from zero customers to $30M AUM and ultimately drove Bitria’s acquisition by Gemini.
Functioned as the CTO’s technical right hand, leading critical engineering initiatives, driving decision-making, and shaping the platform’s evolution across the company’s entire lifecycle.
Built the fee engine and transaction lifecycle pipelines—every dollar in the platform flowed through systems I architected, including fee calculations, reconciliations, order routing, and compliance-critical state transitions.
Designed and implemented major REST APIs and third-party integrations, enabling onboarding, portfolio construction, rebalancing, and trade automation for institutional clients.
Parallelized and optimized key financial processes, transforming multi-minute sequential workflows into fast, scalable pipelines that supported real-time trading and rapidly growing AUM.
Created the automated test framework and high-coverage suite used across engineering; drove major runtime reductions and set engineering standards later adopted by teams such as Nifty Gateway post-acquisition.
Acted as the primary technical liaison with early customers across pre-sales and post-sales cycles, translating vague application and operational requirements into robust product and system design.
Produced foundational internal documentation such as architecture guides, onboarding materials, runbooks, and coding standards which formalized engineering practice as the team grew.

Milpitas, CA
Built enterprise license-compliance and automation adapters processing millions of assets across 70K+ users, and architected the CI/CD pipelines and automated ops workflows (Python) that powered FNMS + AppBroker at global scale.
Led Flexera FNMS + App Broker platform engineering, including enterprise deployments across Oracle, Microsoft, Salesforce, Adobe, and VMware.
Designed automation frameworks (Java) used across Unified Monitoring, AI Ops, MDM, improving reporting and eliminating legacy bottlenecks.
Co-developed a modern, cloud-based Telephone Number Management tool using Angular + Spring Boot.
Created a Selenium end-to-end test automation suite adopted across multiple teams.
Mentored 10+ engineers (US/India) in development, automation, observability, and AIOps best practices.
