Tech leadDistributed systemsAI
Tech Lead and Senior Software Engineer with 6+ years across Oracle, Google, and Amazon - leading 10+ engineers, owning 3 products, and architecting 7 microservices.
Experience
Own architecture, technical direction, delivery, and production readiness across 3 Oracle Health products: MRO Gen2, XR Gen1, and Dex Gen1. Defined and completed a 1-year roadmap across 7 Java Micronaut microservices and a React UI for a unified clinical reporting platform.
Built reusable report-generation and printing capabilities supporting 30+ internal concept teams and 16+ production healthcare organizations. Partnered with 25+ cross-functional teams and reduced Gen2 concept onboarding from 2 weeks to under 1 week.
Evolved the platform from a 0-to-1 report-generation service into 7 microservices spanning an API service, template management, data extraction, report generation, report template configuration, output assembler, and the mro-ai-intelligence-service. Incrementally routed approximately 80% of report traffic through newly architected endpoints without downtime while maintaining existing workflows.
Architected a 3-lane asynchronous system handling 10M requests/day and load-tested for bursts of 1M requests; achieved p80 under 3 seconds, p90 within 1 minute, p99 within 10 minutes, and 3 ms/page report generation while isolating the approximately 1% taking over 10 minutes or producing over 1 GB outputs.
Led 4 successful releases as Tech Lead (2 quarterly, then 2 bi-monthly), increasing completed Jira story points by 100% over 10 months through execution improvements and AI adoption. Scoped work for 5-8 engineers, removed blockers, and drove architecture, compliance, monitoring, and operational and production readiness.
Served as the primary escalation owner for critical production issues; established on-call and coached incident response. Restored approximately 1,000-page reports to the end-to-end latency SLA, reduced heap usage by 40%, and improved performance by over 25%.
Led 3 engineers to deliver Gen1 Report Ingress and 6 APIs in 1 quarter + 1 month versus 2 quarters planned, enabling the phased WebSphere-to-EJS migration with fewer processing hangs, faster server-side feature delivery, improved performance, stability, and scalability, and lower infrastructure and third-party costs.
Proposed an AI-powered template builder and reporting solution, aligned 4 Product Managers, and moved it from idea to execution. Influenced a partner team’s operating model to improve velocity by approximately 30%, and coached engineers on AI adoption.
Converted ambiguous technical and product scopes into architecture and execution plans for SI DRZ and EHRC modernization. Built the India Clinical Reporting team from scratch; led 8 engineers across 3 products; conducted 150+ interviews, contributed to 30+ hires as a Senior Bar Raiser, and mentored and judged AI project ideas from 12 OraHacks teams.

“I’ve known Sanjay since our college days, and over the years, I’ve had the opportunity to see him grow both professionally and personally. He is genuinely one of the most intellectual, curious, and grounded people I know, a true gem. What stands out most about Sanjay is his incredibly logical and structured way of thinking. He is the kind of person who will never jump to a conclusion without first understanding the “why,” exploring the available options, and thinking through the trade-offs. This approach, combined with his strong technical expertise, leadership skills, and excellent communication, makes him someone people can truly rely on. He has an exceptional sense of time management and a natural habit of keeping things structured and well documented, not just in technology, but in life too! His curiosity is another quality I really admire. He genuinely enjoys learning and often spends his spare time exploring new technologies, understanding how things work, and finding new things to learn. And then there is his ability to communicate and convince people. He has a way of presenting his thoughts so logically that I often find myself agreeing with his approach to life. He is so convincing with his logic and communication that, after knowing him for years, I eventually ended up marrying him. 😁 Beyond his technical and leadership abilities, Sanjay is patient, dependable, thoughtful, and an amazing companion. These qualities make him not only a great professional but also a genuinely wonderful person to have around. I’m proud to have known him since our college days and to have watched him grow into the person he is today. Anyone who works with Sanjay will find someone who brings strong technical skills, logical thinking, curiosity, leadership, and a great sense of responsibility with a little joy along the way.”

Nicholas worked with Sanjay on the same team at Oracle Health
“I had the privilege of working under Sanjay's guidance, and I can confidently say he is not only an exceptional Tech Lead, but also one of the most impactful mentors I have ever worked with. As an SDE3, his technical depth and architectural vision are top-tier, but what truly sets him apart is his genuine commitment to elevating the engineers around him. Sanjay’s mentorship was instrumental in my growth as an engineer. He leads with patience and clarity, taking the time to break down complex technical concepts and explaining the "why" behind critical architecture decisions. He creates a high-trust environment that empowers you to step outside your comfort zone and take full ownership of complex challenges, all while providing the exact guidance and support needed to succeed. His proactive approach to clearing blockers and sharp product sense consistently guided our team to hit critical milestones. Sanjay seamlessly balances high-level technical execution with dedicated, hands-on mentorship. Any engineering team would be incredibly fortunate to have Sanjay leading their technical initiatives and developing their talent.”

Atishay reported to Sanjay directly at Oracle
“I had the opportunity to work closely with Sanjay during the early stage of our career, and even though we worked together for just about a year, his impact was clearly visible. He quickly developed strong product knowledge and was able to get a deep understanding of multiple services in a short time, something that usually takes much longer. It was impressive to see him already making an impact at the next level, driving discussions, and contributing meaningfully across teams. What stands out most about Sanjay is his leadership quality and the way he connects with people. He's transparent, approachable, and always willing to help others, whether it's providing technical guidance, or simply supporting teammates when needed. He's someone who not only gets the job done but also uplifts those around him. A great colleague to work with, and someone who is continuously learning from everyone while being open to sharing his own knowledge. I've learned a lot from him in a short span of time, and it's been a real pleasure working together.”

Sanjay was senior to Sanjay but didn't manage Sanjay directly
“I had the pleasure of working with Sanjay on a project that he led, and it was a really great experience. Thanks to his leadership and clear direction, we were able to deliver the project in just one quarter and a month, compared to the original estimate of two quarters, an impressive achievement for the entire team. What stood out the most was how he always looked at the bigger picture, tackled critical challenges head-on, and worked closely with everyone to get things moving. He brought structure and clarity to the project by defining stories, aligning priorities, and keeping the team focused on outcomes. He also went above and beyond to help junior engineers, ensuring they were unblocked and could contribute effectively. His hands-on involvement in end-to-end testing and release made a big difference in getting the project delivered smoothly. Even with relatively fewer years of experience, Sanjay shows the kind of leadership, ownership, and problem-solving mindset you'd expect from someone at the next level. He's a great teammate to work with, collaborative, reliable, and always positive. Any team would be lucky to have him!”
