Srini Bala Portfolio
Software Engineering Lead → Solutions Architect → Product Management
I bridge technical architecture with product strategy, turning complex systems into products customers want, with a track record of shipped features, adopted specs, and multi-million-dollar revenue across engineering, sales-engineering, and cloud architecture roles. Looking for Product Management roles where engineering depth is an advantage, not a translation problem.
