About me

An engineering leader focused on product strategy, execution, and resilient systems.


I’m Tushar. I build products and teams.

My background spans engineering leadership, product execution, and systems built at scale. I’m interested in how technical decisions intersect with business outcomes and how leaders navigate ambiguity, tradeoffs, and growth.

This blog is a space to think in public about leadership, engineering, product strategy, and learning through execution and failure.

Outside of work, I play the drums - where rhythm, restraint, and iteration matter as much as they do in building teams.

Areas I Focus On

  • Engineering leadership for product teams
  • Org and execution design for scaling teams
  • Architecture and platform decisions with business constraints
  • Coaching engineering managers and senior ICs
