My Story

I started my career writing enterprise software at Technovert, learning the fundamentals of building things that actually work under pressure. That instinct for reliability has shaped everything since.

In 2014, I joined Keka HR as a founding team member — employee #1 on the engineering side. Over the next decade I grew alongside the product: from shipping core modules like payroll, leave, and attendance to leading an engineering org of 100+ people across Tribes, Leagues, and Squads.

In 2025, I took the leap to build something of my own. EverUptime is everything I learned about keeping systems healthy — distilled into a product. Early stage, moving fast, staying close to our users.

Building EverUptime from the ground up — an incident management platform for DevOps and SRE teams who care about uptime. After years of leading engineering at Keka, I finally took everything I learned and bet on something of my own.

Moving fast, staying close to users, building with purpose.
