I am a situational servant leader who is always curious, learning from everyone, and executing!

Over the last 19+ years, I have formed and led teams of various sizes (from 1 to 180+) and shapes, including product and engineering teams, engineering-only teams, forward-deployed customer engineering teams, and small but mighty groups of 8–10 delivering marvels.

My actions are centered on user empathy, rapid iteration, continuous growth, ownership, collaboration, and inclusive culture.

• Builder and Innovator at Heart
• Medium to Large Organization (5K-90K) - Splunk, Cisco:

  • I believe that sustained growth can lead to transformative, long-lasting impact.

• Startup Perspective (10-5K) - BuildKit, WebCare360, Saint Peter's, HackerEarth:

  • I also recognize the high-stakes nature of hypergrowth in small and medium-sized organization, where rapid acceleration can unlock extraordinary success or critical challenges.

Planning over Guesswork: Provide clarity, spark energy, and drive successful outcomes.

• Strategic Foresight: Tackling complex challenges with vision.
• Product Innovation: Delivering impactful solutions.
• Executive Leadership: Driving alignment and business success.

Execution over theory: Lead by example, coach for development, and care for team’s well-being.

I am a natural leader who:

• Shapes the vision.
• Inspires leaders and connects with members
• Picks up the baton to drive progress.
• Ensures teams stay aligned, focused, and results-driven.

• 🔭 I’m currently reflecting on the technological evolution and societal impact over time.
• 🌱 Grooming next generation of leaders and problem solvers!; I just read the book called Traction by Gino.
• 👯 Shaping Open Source contributions for Splunk Platform Apps (splunkbase.com).
• 💬 Ask me about jungle gym career, coaching, photography, hiking, origami yoda, and/or food alchemy.

• ⚡ Fun fact: I speak five languages (including [Humor] Yodish!), having written my high-school exams in Gujarati script until switching to English at university. . aptitude moo
