Who am I?
I'm Nilesh Dosooye - father, husband, son, foodie, traveler, mauritian, investor & technology leader
I spent a couple of decades in the US working in Silicon Valley mostly. With Remote work toolset and processes more streamlined, I recently moved to Mauritius with my family, so that my children can grow up with the same culture, life, family, beach access and island vibes, that I had, while I was growing up.
I love food and travel and I love to explore cultures, countries, people thru their foods. I once took 6 months and backpacked Central and South America solo, took few months to do Asia and South East Asia here and there. After our wedding, me and my wife, took a 1 year break and travelled exclusively for that 1 year doing South America and Asia. We visited around 26 countries in that trip, before we had kids. My latest trip was a post-covid, solo trip to India, Malaysia and Thailand, mostly a food tour - Following food vloggers and trying all the Michelin star Street foods out there.
I have over 20 years experience in technology innovation, startups and consumer application development. I use my vast experience leveraging startup growth strategies and software engineering methodologies to deliver highly effective and creative products to business and technology challenges.
My several years of experience has been mostly in building scalable web based applications and web services. I have excellent experience building enterprise and consumer applications and scaling them in the cloud ecosystem. I have experience working in Corporate culture (Yahoo!) as well as very early stage startups with limited resources. I love taking products from conception to reality as efficiently as possible.
I consistently drive high standards of delivery through effective project management, communication, and strategic planning. I am highly organized with strong capacity to prioritize workload, delegate deliverables, and steer project completion.
