I have spent the last 12 years helping companies define tech product roadmaps and help them build a highly scalable, high performing tech stack from the ground up to close to 200M users. What started as an experimentation, quickly led to a scalability challenge for me as I scaled my first client to 200,000+ active users, 1,500 concurrent users and 750,000 read-write requests per day to a database. That was way back in 2009! Ever since then, I've worked with startups that scaled to a million users to enterprises that required SLA of 99.999% uptime. While my passion for technology has led to a tech consulting role, at the heart I still am a tech hacker. I have written about my thoughts on technology on leading publications like TheNextWeb, TechCrunch, Techtarget, etc. And, I regularly publish my tech blogs on www.simform.com/blog. Writing about my tech experience is one of my passions, and, more than 300,000 people read my blogs every month Apart from that, I am deeply involved in startup ecosystems. In my current role: I help companies understand what technologies they should select and why they should select it I help them shape their organization with a mix of augmented-on-demand capabilities that help them drive future growth, minus the risk of high burn I provide end-to-end services for mobile apps, backend development, IoT and other software engineering services
