Server-Driven Screen Engine
Designed a dynamic screen rendering system at Apollo 24|7 backed by a headless CMS and custom image pipeline so product teams ship layouts without app-store delays.
I’m a Principal Engineer at Apollo 24|7 in Bengaluru, leading mobile architecture and performance for the pharma platform.
I work in TypeScript and React Native day to day, backed by a decade of shipping consumer mobile and web systems across healthcare, clinical AI, and global retail. Since 2016, my path has run through KeepWorks, Practo, Walmart Global Tech, Abridge, and Apollo 24|7.
