The long way round
to building systems.

I'm a GTM Engineer with a background in sales operations and commercial partnerships. I got here the unconventional way — not through a CS degree, but through years on the ops floor watching every broken GTM tool fail in real time.

I spent years on the ops floor — managing 50+ sales reps across East India, building commercial distribution networks from scratch, watching every broken CRM workflow, every missed follow-up, every lead that fell through the cracks because nobody had time to fix the systems.

I knew the process better than anyone. I just couldn't fix the tools. So I built workarounds in spreadsheets. Hated it.

In 2022 I moved to London, got an MSc in Entrepreneurship & Innovation from Queen Mary University, and made a decision: stop waiting for engineers to fix the infrastructure and learn to build it myself.

Not to become a developer. To fix the job the code was supposed to do.

That background is the difference. Most GTM engineers know the code. I know what it feels like when it breaks — at 9pm, mid-campaign, with a team of 50 waiting on a lead list that never arrived.

Now I build AI-powered GTM systems that run in production: outbound pipelines, CRM automation, AI call transcription, lead enrichment stacks. Things that actually ship and actually work.

Every step that led here.

2015–2018
Commercial Sales · East India
Started on the ground — building distribution networks and commercial partnerships across East India. Learned how revenue actually moves: through people, relationships, and process. Not through dashboards.
2018–2022
Sales Operations · 50+ Reps
Moved into managing sales teams at scale. 50+ reps, inbound and outbound, across multiple territories. Watched every broken CRM workflow, every missed follow-up, every lead that fell through the cracks. Built workarounds in spreadsheets. Hated it.
2022–2023
MSc Entrepreneurship & Innovation · QMUL London
Moved to London. Studied at Queen Mary University. The MSc gave me the frameworks — but the real shift was deciding to stop waiting for engineers to fix the tools and just learning to build them myself.
2023–2024
First Systems · n8n + APIs
First pipelines: n8n workflows, Apollo enrichment, HubSpot integrations. Rough but functional. Started freelancing. Realised I could ship things clients actually used. Got faster.
2024–now
GTM Engineer · Production AI Systems
FastAPI backends on Railway. React dashboards. Deepgram transcription. GPT-4o extraction. Real HubSpot integrations on real deal pipelines. Invited to speak at GTM Daily Office Hours. Building in public.
