Hello, I'm Neel.

A hands-on Engineering Manager based in the San Francisco Bay Area. For the last decade I've worked in HealthTech, where I went from writing the code to leading the teams that build our data platform.

An individual contributor turned servant leader. What I care about most hasn't changed with the title: helping people do the best work of their careers.

Off the clock, I'm usually behind a camera or writing. Those two habits are how I keep paying attention to the world when I'm not staring at a screen.
