Who I Am

Engineering Leader. Product Builder.

Insulet Corporation — Systems Automation

As Manager of Systems Automation, I lead a team of SDETs building automated verification frameworks for medical devices — driving design verification, V&V processes, and CI/CD pipelines across FDA/ISO/IEC regulated product development.

The Product Builder

The same engineering discipline I bring to MedTech — risk-based thinking, shift-left strategy, quality gates — I channel into building products. Vystra Build is my first shipped product: a construction management platform for Indian contractors. It's not a side project — it's a fully shipped SaaS with 12+ modules, real users, and subscription pricing.

" The same rigor that ensures a medical device is safe for patients can build a product people rely on every day.
