Ram Sukhdev Nalawade

I am a seasoned technology leader with over 16 years of professional experience in software engineering, cloud architecture, and digital transformation. Throughout my career, I have successfully combined deep technical expertise with strategic business alignment to deliver scalable, secure, and high-performance solutions for enterprises and startups alike.

Currently, I serve as Vice President of Engineering at Sigmoid Frogs (2019 – Present), where I lead a team of engineers in building AI-driven, cloud-native platforms that serve over 10 million users globally. My role includes designing and deploying multi-cloud (AWS & GCP) microservices architectures, reducing latency by 30%, and cutting cloud costs by 20%. I have implemented CI/CD pipelines to accelerate feature deployment by 40%, optimized PostgreSQL indexing to improve query performance by 50%, and established real-time analytics dashboards to drive data-driven decision-making across business functions. I am also responsible for scaling engineering teams, mentoring talent, and aligning product and technology roadmaps with organizational goals.

Previously, I worked as a Technical Lead at Cinestaan Digital Pvt. Ltd. (2015 – 2019). There, I spearheaded the migration from monolithic systems to a microservices architecture using Node.js and AWS Lambda, which significantly improved scalability and uptime. I also played a key role in product requirement definition, backend redesign, and technology adoption, ensuring that the platforms remained robust and future-ready.

From 2012 to 2015, I was a Senior Software Engineer at Genesys International Corporation Ltd., where I led full-cycle software development projects, building high-performance applications, conducting rigorous validation and security testing, and creating comprehensive technical documentation. Prior to this, I gained foundational expertise as a Software Engineer at Blue Star Infotech (2010 – 2012) and ITISL Technologies (2007 – 2010), contributing to enterprise-grade .NET and SQL-based solutions.

My core skill set spans cloud platforms (AWS, GCP, Kubernetes, Docker, Terraform), programming (Node.js, C#, JavaScript), databases (PostgreSQL, MongoDB, MySQL, Redis, DynamoDB), and security practices (OWASP, Zero Trust Architectures, SonarQube). I am also experienced in AI-driven architectures, edge computing, and IoT systems.

With a Bachelor of Science in Information Technology from Mumbai University (2006), I bring not only technical expertise but also a strong background in leadership, cross-functional collaboration, and change management. I am passionate about leveraging technology to solve complex business problems and driving innovation that delivers measurable value to organizations and their customers.
