I work as a product engineer, leading new product and technology development projects. I have contributed to launching 3 products with a total mature sales of $30M. I lead a 13-15 member team, although being the most junior for product launch. Having grown up in many states across India gives me a sense of cultural diversity that has added significance to my life.
