I'm Ranveer Meel. For 15+ years I've built and scaled engineering teams across fintech, e-commerce, and trust systems. I partner with founders and leaders to set technical strategy, build the right team, and turn AI and fraud-prevention into real business outcomes.
Hands-on technical leadership, scoped to what your business actually needs right now.
Executive technical leadership on a part-time or interim basis — roadmap, architecture, hiring, and delivery, aligned tightly with revenue and growth goals.
Practical adoption of LLMs, RAG, OCR, and AI agents — from proof-of-concept to production, with a focus on ROI, data privacy, and human-in-the-loop quality.
Design fraud detection, risk scoring, and trust infrastructure that cut chargebacks and losses while keeping good customers moving.
Build and scale high-performing teams — hiring, managers, ownership models, KPIs, and a culture of quality that holds up as you grow.
Migrate and modernize to resilient, cost-efficient, API-first architectures on AWS/GCP — reducing downtime and cloud spend.
Investor- and acquirer-grade assessments of architecture, team, security, and technical debt — with a clear, prioritized action plan.
Deep, first-hand experience in regulated, high-scale, and trust-critical domains.
An engineering leader who bridges deep technical execution with business strategy.
I'm an engineering leader with 15+ years building and scaling high-impact teams across e-commerce, fintech, data platforms, and trust systems — from hands-on engineer to Engineering Manager at Chegg and leading engineering for AI-driven Background Verification today.
I specialize in AI-first, high-trust systems: fraud prevention, OCR and document intelligence, AI agents, and secure handling of PII across multi-country compliance frameworks. I work closely with founders, CFOs, and CPOs to align technology with revenue, growth, and risk.
What I bring: an AI-first mindset applied to real, high-scale systems; strong expertise in distributed systems, compliance, and secure data handling; and a proven track record of scaling teams, systems, and leadership capacity.
