Hello, I\u2019m Pankaj Singhal, a seasoned engineering leader with over 18 years of experience driving innovative solutions and building high-performing global teams.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Before Uber, I spent six impactful years at Amazon. In my role as Software Development Manager, I oversaw the Chargebacks systems in Buyer Risk Prevention, modernizing legacy services with AWS microservices and enhancing onboarding processes. As a Senior Software Engineer in India, I optimized the seller registration experience, ensuring a secure marketplace for customers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

My journey began with hands-on engineering roles at Snapdeal, Microsoft, Adobe, and Aricent, where I gained invaluable expertise in platforms, supply chain, and software tools. I\u2019m passionate about scaling teams, delivering impactful technology, and driving innovation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
