About Manish

I'm a former Director of Engineering at Zscaler, where I led a 21-person distributed team across India and the US through IPO and hypergrowth. I built and scaled the engineering organization responsible for Zscaler's customer-facing web platforms, reducing staffing costs by 75% while maintaining enterprise quality.

Now I help startups and growth companies build technical capability without the overhead of full-time executive hires.

I combine modern AI-accelerated development with 20+ years of software engineering discipline - giving you the speed of AI tools with the reliability of proper architecture, testing, and production practices.

I hold an MBA from Columbia and live in Sebastopol, California.
