TECHNICAL PRODUCT · PLATFORM STRATEGY

Complex systems.
Clear direction.

I’m Ronak. I connect engineering depth with product thinking to turn internal client needs into platform roadmaps, clear priorities, and measurable outcomes.

16+ years in enterprise engineering and platform delivery at Goldman Sachs.

GRID-TO-CLOUD & DATA CENTER EXIT / 2017–2019

From Compute Farm to Cloud

Helped grow the compute farm, then owned client-facing migration planning for its ~500K-core grid platform, supporting the move to cloud IaaS and exit of 10 data centers.

Selected outcomes are drawn from my professional experience. Program results reflect collaborative work across engineering, application, and business teams.

02 / HOW I WORK

Make the complex
actionable.

I connect client needs and business priorities to roadmaps and execution plans, keeping teams and leadership aligned on dependencies, risks, and measurable outcomes.

01 / DISCOVER

Understand the user.

Work with internal clients to understand workloads, operating needs, and adoption barriers before defining the platform change.

02 / PRIORITIZE

Set priorities and direction.

Translate client needs and technical constraints into platform roadmaps, explicit trade-offs, and sequenced delivery plans.

03 / DELIVER

Drive adoption and outcomes.

Partner with engineering, client, and risk teams to resolve issues, manage dependencies, support adoption, and report progress against business and platform goals.

03 / ABOUT ME

Built from
the systems up.

My work connects client needs, technology strategy, and engineering execution.

Over 16+ years at Goldman Sachs, I’ve worked across infrastructure engineering, platform roadmaps, technical program delivery, and technology risk governance. I bring teams together around priorities, dependencies, and trade-offs, with leadership reporting that makes progress and decisions clear.

I approach technical product and program work by clarifying the problem, aligning stakeholders, and tracking business outcomes. I also use automation and AI-assisted analysis to investigate service dependencies and improve reporting.
