Selected work from 18+ years of hands-on engineering and engineering leadership, across architecture, technical decision-making, and delivery. Most of it is platforms: the things other teams build on.
Norvia Labs
Founder · 2025 – Present
Building open-source infrastructure for putting AI agents to work inside limits people set. The first product is Forge, a terminal AI coding environment in Rust with sandboxed tool execution, approvals, durable sessions and isolated Git worktrees. I built it on my own: 1,500+ commits and 21 tagged versions so far.
Moveworks
Engineering Manager · Analytics and real-time integrations · 2024 – 2025
Led two teams in Bangalore, 17 engineers in all. One built the analytics behind Moveworks’ agentic AI assistant for its 350+ customers, the Data API, and Surya, which we rebuilt from a backend service into a full-stack platform. The other built the real-time system that crawls customer data sources and keeps every record in sync, which meant incremental fetch, tenant isolation and a webhook system of our own.
Engineering Manager · Enterprise data platform and integrations · 2022 – 2023
Led two teams of 14 engineers that moved 1,500 sales datasets and 25+ go-to-market teams onto one data platform. P95 data freshness went from 72 hours to 6, and data errors from over 10% to 0.5%.
Postman
Engineering Manager · Runtime · 2020 – 2022
Led the Runtime team, the engine that sends every request and runs every script, as it grew from 5 to 11 engineers. We took Postman to the browser (13M monthly active users in its first six months) and beyond HTTP, with WebSocket, Socket.IO and gRPC support.
Booking.com
Senior Software Developer · Identity and access management · 2017 – 2019
Led the team of 5 that built account.booking.com, the authentication and authorization infrastructure for 300M+ guest and 10M+ partner accounts, including single sign-on on OAuth2 and OpenID Connect and a service-to-service agent handling 1.2M requests a second.
Before that
2008 – 2016
Principal Developer at Seynse, the fintech behind loansingh.com, where I led a team of 15. Independent backend and data consultant for startups including Automatic and Scrunch. Analytics and machine learning at Qyuki, and text analytics and crawlers at Serendio.
I write about what this work taught me — platforms, data, reliability, and leading teams — on the writing page.
What I'm building now is on the Projects page, including Lantern Barge, a small game I made.
