About me
I am an Engineering Manager with almost a decade of engineering experience working successfully on projects and with organizations of various sizes as both an individual contributor and technical lead.
Most recently, I have supported the development of a single platform to allow for easy compliance. Digital ID, automated AML, and Source of Funds checks all in one place at Thirdfort. I have also supported the development of an Open Distribution solution at Impala simultatanously building out Nishaani+, a video streaming service providing Sikh content.
Having been a part of many organisations and projects, I believe that an organisational and team culture of transparency and being candid is key to the success of any project. It not only enables open discussion about potential technical paths, it also invokes a sense of ownership of the final developed solution.
Personally, I hail from Derby, United Kingdom and I enjoy spending time with my two children, my wife, Jas, who runs Crafts By Jas, and going on hikes.
A few select Projects.
Here are a few projects I have been a part of over my time in engineering.
