Technical Lead · Embedded · Firmware · Enterprise

Building reliable systems, leading engineering teams, modernizing legacy platforms and turning complex programs into predictable delivery.

11 YEARS · SINCE 2015

Engineering depth.
Leadership that delivers.

Technical Lead spanning embedded systems, firmware development and enterprise software delivery. I turn complex, cross-functional engineering programs into predictable, on-time delivery for teams of 10+ engineers and platforms serving 5,000+ end users.

5,000+ users supported by a modernized enterprise CPQ platform
// ABOUT

Where engineering meets ownership.

Hands-on technical depth combined with execution discipline, stakeholder leadership and end-to-end delivery ownership.

I own execution end-to-end — from requirement discussions and solution design through sprint execution, stakeholder alignment and release. At ATRI Solutions, I provide technical leadership across embedded engineering programs spanning firmware, electronics, mechanical, QA and procurement, owning risk, dependencies and execution discipline from planning through release.

Previously, I spent 5+ years at Arastu Systems, including consulting at Stridely Solutions, as Technical Lead on an enterprise CPQ platform used by 5,000+ users across the USA and Canada. I led a 10-person engineering team and coordinated with 80+ cross-functional stakeholders through a hybrid Agile-Waterfall model.

Earlier in my career, I built mission-critical embedded systems for ISRO (SAC & ISTRAC), Nelco and BSNL, working across antenna control systems, real-time firmware and hardware-integrated solutions.

My operating principle: combine technical clarity, accountable teams and disciplined execution to turn difficult engineering problems into dependable outcomes.
