The story so far.
One chapter per role.

Thirteen years of building products and the teams behind them, from my first engineering job to founding OARE.

  1. 2013–15Virtusa, TracxnSoftware Engineer → Senior Software Engineer

    I started out at Virtusa, building banking and insurance software for European clients.

    At Tracxn I moved closer to the customer, working on data products people used directly.

    I founded Hashtales and ran it as CTO. We built a fan engagement and user-generated content platform for brands.

    Hashtales was named one of the Times HOT 100 tech startups, and in 2020 it had a successful exit.

  3. 2020–24ZluriFounding Engineering Lead → Senior EM

    I joined Zluri as its founding engineering lead and grew into senior engineering manager. Zluri is an identity security platform built for autonomous enterprises; it started as a SaaS management platform.

    I built and led engineering from a $2M seed through a $20M Series B, with 95% team retention. Two patents were granted along the way.

  6. 2026–OAREFounder

    Now I'm founding again. OARE turns a plain-language goal into AI agents that do the work, and keeps what they learn.

    It's pre-launch, and I'm looking for early design partners.
