Director of Engineering

I cofounded RHR Networks Pvt Ltd that had 2 flagship products - Bixee.com & Pixrat.com. Bixee was an India focused job search engine created with the intention of providing a one-window snapshot of all the jobs that are available in India. The company had developed a unique product CrawlX built using Python language, which enabled us to crawl and extract job information from thousands of job and company websites. CrawlX did the tough job of identifying key job attributes from an unstructured text in an HTML page. Bixee had millions of jobs in its database and its intelligent search technology enabled job seekers to find the most relevant jobs in India and abroad that suited their profile. This technology was later used to launch other vertical searches like Education, Autos & Travel. 

Pixrat.com was a social picture bookmarking website. It was a new innovation at that time and was featured by likes of techcrunch, CNN money etc.

Bixee.com & Pixrat.com was acquired in 2006 by Naspers M

I led some of the key initiatives such as building scalable  Media Storage & User Database that can handle millions of users, the Search & Crawl Platform and the Data analysis platform.

My responsibility also included search business verticals like Jobs, Travel, Ad Platform. I ensured the launch of travel portal goibibo.com before the last date of my employment with ibibo.

Head of Mobile and Data for Emerging Markets

I worked on the company's Application Mining project where I built parsers and code generation tools that automated migration of applications built on legacy code like Cobol, Databus, etc to new generation technologies like VC++ & VB.

These tools were used to migrate legacy systems for organizations like Hitachi Japan and Itochu Techno-Science Japan.
