Principal Engineer

Uber

I started my career in 2006 as a Mobile Engineer, and over the years, I’ve worked across data, app health, experimentation, multimedia, and networking, keeping mobile as my anchor. What excites me most is building platforms that combine technical depth and data-driven insights to make systems more resilient, observable, and scalable.

Along the way, I’ve enjoyed mentoring Mobile Architects, advising founders and tech teams on how to scale their systems and organizations. Lately, I’ve been spending much time using AI to level up engineering teams, and I’m always up for a conversation if that sparks your interest.

Panel Discussion

Android Beyond Apps: AI, Agents, and the Next Platform Shift (with QnA)

As AI shifts from passive assistants to on-device autonomous agents, mobile software is undergoing its most significant platform transition in decades. Android is evolving from a visual app launcher into an intelligent runtime where system-level agents orchestrate multi-step workflows across applications. In this opening keynote panel followed by open QnA, engineering and developer advocacy leaders from Google, Swiggy, Uber, Groww, and American Express unpack how the platform is adapting to an agent-first world. The panel examines the shift toward AppFunctions and on-device tool calling, privacy boundaries for autonomous execution, and why developers must start treating app capabilities as structured APIs alongside visual screens. Developers will walk away with an insider look at Android’s platform roadmap and practical guidance on preparing production codebases for an agent-driven ecosystem.
