New Job at ScaleFusion

Reflecting on My Career Journey and a New Beginning at Scalefusion
I began my professional journey in February 2013 with a Dutch company based in Pune. As a fresh graduate, I was fortunate to find inspiring mentors like Jos, Ruben, and Jonathan, who shaped my early career. I also had the privilege of working alongside incredible teammates such as Aashish, Robert, Edwin, Pratik, and others who became lifelong friends.
During my time there, I worked on an ambitious project, SocialSchools, which became a cornerstone of my career. I contributed to the development of its first communication platform for schools and later led the effort to build a multi-tenant CMS from scratch. This platform powered thousands of domains and handled millions of monthly requests, marking a significant milestone for me and the team. In 2022, SocialSchools was acquired by KidsKonnect, and I continued contributing to their vision for the next two years.
A Turning Point and the Path Ahead
By October 2024, it became clear that my journey with KidsKonnect would come to an end. While contemplating my next steps, I reconnected with a company I’ve admired for years—Scalefusion. Known for its innovative products and leadership, it felt like a natural fit for the challenges I was eager to tackle. After a rewarding interview process, I was thrilled to accept the role of Principal Engineer.
Gratitude and Aspirations
Reflecting on nearly 12 years at my previous company, I am deeply grateful for the mentorship, skills, and friendships that shaped me. This experience has prepared me to embrace this next phase with confidence and ambition.
I would like to thank my wife, family, and colleagues for their unwavering support during this transition. At Scalefusion, I look forward to reinventing myself, embracing new challenges, and achieving greater heights alongside an incredible team.
Here’s to growth, learning, and making an impact!
I’m a Principal Engineer and Django CMS Fellow passionate about solving meaningful problems and pushing tech boundaries. I love reading, listening/playing music, appreciating/making art, and enjoying a good cup of coffee. I hope you enjoy reading my essays.
