Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolSahil Purav is a seasoned engineering leader based in Mumbai with over a decade of hands-on experience and 14 years in the tech industry driving product and platform transformation. As Director at Cactus Communications, he leads a 100+ global engineering organization while previously modernizing legacy monoliths into fault-tolerant microservices, achieving near-zero downtime and dramatically faster delivery cycles. He blends deep engineering craft—building tools that cut setup times from days to minutes and slashing build times and API latencies—with strong operational discipline around TDD/BDD, SSO, and cloud-native caching. Sahil has a track record of improving team productivity and hiring quality, creating real-time ROI-focused reporting for sprints and reducing tester-to-developer ratios through process change. He quietly complements strategic leadership with pragmatic automation and open tooling (including an open-sourced browser compatibility checker), making him equally comfortable writing code or steering large-scale engineering transformations.
