Vijay D.

Engineering leader with experience in companies both small and big

I'm a software engineering leader with 20+ years of experience at companies ranging from startups (Vontive) to pre-IPO rocketships (Tableau, Flexport, WeWork) to big tech (Microsoft).

I have led various functions (Development, Quality, Product, Data, Integration Engineering, and Product Support), built many products from 0-->1, and taken others from 1-->10-->100.

My breadth of experience covers multiple domains (Data, Real Estate Tech, Supply Chain Tech, and Fintech). I am a systems thinker and prioritize urgency and efficiency.

Hire me if you need help with product strategy and roadmaps, software architecture, hiring & staffing, team functioning, organizational design, or anything else that has to do with building software products.

Testimonials

Vijay brings everything to the table. He thinks like a business owner not just as a technical leader. He has a wealth of experience dealing with every aspect of engineering management - talent development, roadmap development, engineering best practices, etc. He has personally helped me, as a mentor/advisor, work through a number of critical issues at Vontive. Very high EQ and people skills. Straight shooter and not afraid to address difficult topics.

Work

TradeGraph Data Platform

At Flexport, I led the organization responsible for creating the TradeGraph - a digital twin of the world of trade. It ingested data through integrations with 200+ external data sources, removed conflicts & duplicates, and persisted normalized and versioned data into a single-source-of-truth document repository. Finally, we exposed that "cleaned" data via REST, gRPC, and GraphQL APIs that were multitenant-aware to application developers, both internal to Flexport and external.

This data platform enabled the automation of all logistics processes, from booking & pricing to planning & routing. Over 60 teams internal to Flexport consumed our APIs, from the Visibility team that built tools to track shipments, to the Flexport.org team that used our data to calculate carbon offsets.

Tableau Mobile

I led the Mobile Engineering division at Tableau for 5 years, and oversaw the growth of the user base from ~8000 WAU to 40000+ WAU.

My org owned the entire mobile strategy. This included multiple mobile apps on iOS and Android and browser experiences on touch-enabled devices.

Under my leadership, my org pioneered the adoption of several modern product development strategies at Tableau, such as A/B experimentation and using customer data to influence the product roadmap.
