During my brief tenure at Bain Capital—parent company of my former employer, athenahealth—I continued the data engineering efforts. Specifically, I designed and implemented Airflow DAGs and data flows to streamline data warehousing operations, while also contributing to a multi-tenant Airflow architecture that ensured scalability and efficiency across the organization.

At athenahealth, my team built a 'Unified Deployment Pipeline' to integrate multiple tech stacks, enhancing service visibility and improving release and product quality. As Lead Member of Technical Staff, I specialized in system design, architecture, and DevSecOps, acting as a domain expert. My responsibilities also included promoting productivity and effectiveness through inclusive collaboration and ownership. I actively designed, developed scalable, secure, and resilient micro-services and deployed infrastructure through code. my team's CI/CD and DevOps initiatives have improved systems and prevented regressions, and drove innovation in technical system development across teams.

Contributed to the development of next-generation Bose speakers, home theaters, Wearables, including headphones, earbuds, and frames, by delivering full-stack software across embedded systems, mobile applications, cloud infrastructure, and security layers. Key contributions included feature development for voice prompts, battery management, and Bluetooth stack enhancements for ECO2 products. Led Bluetooth stack integration for Bose Frames (Olivia & Vedder), optimized Qualcomm platform performance, and resolved high-priority bugs during critical product launches such as Taylor and NC-700. Consistently met aggressive deadlines, earning the Excellent Award and a CEO recognition letter. Architected reusable software building blocks to accelerate product development cycles and supported strategic patent initiatives and industry partnerships.

Designed and developed robotic haptic models for user-system feedback. Simulated an embedded system model for trajectory tracking / control of a robot for telepresence.

Led the full lifecycle of new R&D initiatives—securing funding, assembling cross‑functional teams, and driving projects to completion—while mentoring Electrical & Electronics students on both self‑directed research and E‑cube/ETA‑funded work. In parallel, collaborated with the reverse‑engineering wing to deliver hands‑on training in Arduino prototyping, PSpice circuit simulation, and MATLAB analysis.
