About Me
I’m Pawan Singh, an Engineering Leader with over 16 years of experience building high-scale, cloud-native, and data-driven platforms. I combine deep technical expertise with leadership insight to craft solutions that bridge engineering and business — systems and stories.
👋 Introduction
- Who am I: Currently, I work at CAS (a division of the American Chemical Society), where I lead engineering for scientific discovery platform products (CAS Products). I’m also pursuing an Executive MBA in Product Leadership at the Institute of Product Leadership (IPL). This dual journey — of leading and learning — sharpens my edge across both technology and product strategy.
- What is my expertise: I specialize in:
- Information Retrieval and Search Engine Optimization
- Parallel Processing & Distributed Storage Systems
- Natural Language Processing (NLP)
- Generative AI and Large Language Models
- Platform Architecture and Scalable Backend Engineering
- Current role: I wear the hats of an Engineering Manager and a Solution Architect — leading agile teams, defining architecture blueprints, ensuring delivery at scale, and aligning engineering outcomes with product value.
- Why I’m a key differentiator: My ability to think like a developer, lead like a product owner, and communicate like a storyteller makes me uniquely positioned to build not just platforms, but ecosystems. I navigate ambiguity, create alignment, and bring clarity where it’s needed most.
- What I’m looking for: I’m seeking senior leadership roles that allow me to drive engineering vision, influence product strategy, and shape teams that build with meaning. I’m open to roles like Head of Engineering, Platform Lead, or Tech Product Owner.
