Product engineer specialised in iOS.
For the past 11+ years I’ve built mobile products, mostly for iOS. Recently I worked on encrypted messaging at Meta — focused on keeping privacy strong without making the experience worse.
I grew up in Kerala, spent years in Bangalore & London, and now relocated back to Kerala.

Tech Lead, Messenger History
Helped move Facebook network messaging to default end-to-end encryption while keeping message history available across a person’s devices.
In 2024, Messenger launched default encryption for all personal messages. I led encrypted message history, where we shipped default message history sync across devices and surfaces earlier this year holding those privacy guarantees at 1.2B+ monthly-active-user scale.
