About Me

I’m currently a first-year MBA student at USC Marshall, focused on growing as a product builder in the tech space. I studied engineering at NSIT (now NSUT) and worked at Cult.fit and Salesforce, where I built products across both startup and large-scale environments.

Across these experiences, I’ve learned to combine engineering depth, product thinking, and strong execution to solve real user problems. I enjoy taking ideas from early ambiguity to shipped products that create tangible impact.

I grew up in India and have lived and worked across Delhi, Bangalore, and now Los Angeles. This journey has shaped how I think, collaborate, and build with diverse teams to create products that are thoughtful, practical, and user-centered.

Salesforce

Senior Product Developer (MTS)

At Salesforce, I joined the Industries Cloud team and worked on a product called Context Service. We initially built it as an internal tool to simplify how teams access and manage data across backend systems, reducing latency and complexity while providing a simple interface to map and control data flows. The product gained strong adoption internally and was later turned into a paid product with API-based usage.

I worked as a full stack developer, contributing to backend APIs, frontend development, and system design. I also collaborated closely with the Data Cloud team to integrate it into our platform, which became a key feature for growth.

Alongside development, I mentored junior engineers and interns, and regularly gave demos and presentations.

As AI started gaining momentum, I took initiative in exploring how it could fit into our systems and became the go-to person on the team for it. I worked on early implementations of Salesforce’s agentic AI and helped the team adopt new tools like Cursor, improving how we built and experimented with AI-driven features.

Cult.fit (Unicorn Health and Fitness Startup)

Product Developer to Senior Product Developer

At Cult.fit, I started right after college as an app developer and joined the Digital Verticals team during COVID, where we were building digital health and fitness products like online workouts, weight loss programs, and fitness plans. Around the same time, we were migrating our app from React Native to Flutter, and since I was one of the few engineers familiar with Flutter, I ended up working on most of the core parts of the app. This included building key components, shaping the overall architecture, and helping onboard new engineers to the framework.

Over time, my role expanded beyond app development into backend work and product-focused initiatives. I worked closely with data science teams on building data platforms, setting up funnels, and running A/B experiments. Because I understood both the technical systems and product needs, I often acted as a bridge between engineering, product, and data teams.

Being in a startup environment also meant working across functions. I collaborated with design, operations, and even supported testing and customer issues when needed.

After about 1.5 years, I became the app lead for the Digital Verticals team, managing a portfolio of six products, owning their architecture, and leading development of multiple products from scratch.
