I am helping Abu Dhabi Digital Authority (Government of Abu Dhabi) build TAMM – the single customer facing interface of all Abu Dhabi Government Services. I am the Product Manager for the Digital Transformation of services provides by the Abu Dhabi Government Entities (ADGEs). I have also been the Journey Manager (Product Manager) for Find a Job journey (product). I had started as a Scrum Master for two journey teams viz. Find a Job in Abu Dhabi and Social Services.

At Sophos, I worked as a Program Manager responsible for managing the planning and delivery of 6+ product release trains.

At GE, I was in a lead role as a Scrum Master / Technical Lead / Release Manager. I was responsible for System 1® Classic suite of products from Phase Gate 2 through Phase Gate 7 of the seven-phase New Product Introduction (NPI) life cycle.

I am an Agile practitioner since 2009. I am volunteering as the organizer of Abu Dhabi chapter of Agile Middle East. I have practiced and mastered Agile best practices such as CI, TDD, refactoring, small release cycles, active stakeholders, etc. in geographically distributed teams in USA, UK, Europe, Africa, Middle East, China, South East Asia, Japan, South America, Central Asia, and the Indian Subcontinent.

I possess a Masters in Computer Science from University of Illinois - Urbana-Champaign and Bachelors of Engineering (IT) from Mumbai University. I am also an alumnus and lecturer of GE’s prestigious Edison Engineer Development Program (EEDP).
