About Me

More than just code — I build systems, teams, and products.

I’m Kartik Puri,
a Solutions Manager & Tech Lead.

Over the last 8 years, I’ve evolved from building client-facing apps to architecting complex product suites. I don't just write code; I design systems that scale and survive.

Currently leading engineering at Aurochs Software, where I oversee four major product lines, manage cloud infrastructure, and drive AI integration.

"Good engineering is not about adding features — it’s about making the system simpler, faster, and more useful."

Solutions Manager & Tech Lead

Aurochs / Incentivate Solutions

Leading engineering, platform evolution, and AI-driven innovation across enterprise incentive systems.

What I Worked On

•Lead end-to-end engineering for Incentivate and Icpharmamaster, overseeing architecture, development, QA alignment, and releases.
•Manage and mentor a team of 8–10 developers, ensuring clarity in design, high development standards, and consistent, predictable delivery.
•Work closely with an internal analytics team of 20–30 members, acting as the bridge between client needs and technical execution.
•Translate business requirements into clear technical workflows, data models, and implementation strategies.
•Established a PR-first development workflow and structured bi-weekly release cadence, improving predictability and product stability.
•Represent technology in discussions with the CTO, CEO, and enterprise clients.

Core Areas of Focus

Platform Architecture & Development

Architected core incentive modules, KPI dashboards, import/export pipelines, job systems, and multi-tenant frameworks.
Built scalable backend services using Flask, Redis, and RQ workers, improving orchestration for long-running and scheduled jobs.
Enhanced the frontend ecosystem using Vue.js & Quasar, focusing on admin tools, reporting interfaces, and performance.
Integrated enterprise systems such as Snowflake, Salesforce, OAuth, SFTP pipelines, and YAML/Git-driven configuration flows.

AI & Automation Initiatives

Designed and delivered an internal AI layer for Incentivate (SQL assistants, Data explainers, NL-driven dashboards).
Built secure prompt pipelines, rate-limited execution, logging/auditing systems, and reusable templates for AI-generated analytics.
Implemented a secure AI foundation using AWS Bedrock, enabling controlled model access, protected data boundaries, and enterprise-grade compliance.
Added automation around data validation, retries, logging, and notifications to improve reliability across environments.

Code Quality & Process Excellence

Implemented SonarQube as a mandatory code-quality gate (PR scanning, security standards, reduced technical debt).
Introduced Sentry for real-time error tracking and alerting, enabling faster debugging and more stable releases.
Built an issue-driven analytics framework tracking bugs, deployments, and worker failures.
Authored internal engineering guidelines for branching, deployments, PR reviews, and documentation.

Team Empowerment & Culture

Conduct weekly technical syncs, architecture reviews, and progress visibility sessions.
Serve as the escalation point for difficult debugging, architectural decisions, and performance bottlenecks.
Own onboarding for new engineers, ensuring smooth knowledge transfer and consistent adoption of engineering standards.

Impact

Significantly increased platform stability through structured releases, better error monitoring, improved job orchestration, and Sonar/Sentry enforcement.
Raised team velocity with clearer processes, stronger architecture patterns, and predictable delivery systems.
Played a major role in transforming Incentivate into a scalable, AI-augmented, enterprise-ready platform.
