About Rahul Bajaj

I am an engineering leader and 2× startup builder with 18+ years of experience scaling products and teams across Fintech and Healthtech. My career bridges both worlds: building cloud-native platforms for highly regulated industries and leading AI-driven innovations that create measurable human impact.Currently, I serve as Head of Engineering at CognitiveBotics, where I lead the design and delivery of AI-powered learning platforms for children with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD). By combining advanced machine learning with therapist expertise, we’re creating personalized eLearning tools that improve engagement and developmental outcomes for children and families.Previously, as Senior Director at Centime (Fintech SaaS), I built a cash-flow management platform from the ground up—leading 50+ engineers to deliver digital lending, payments, and cash forecasting tools for SMBs. I also drove SOC 2 compliance in under 6 months, streamlined fraud/risk frameworks, and migrated monolithic systems into modular, event-driven architectures on AWS.Earlier in my career, at Wells Fargo & Infosys, I delivered large-scale digital lending platforms, modernized 200+ APIs, led migrations from Blaze → Drools and WebLogic → Tomcat, and implemented regulatory compliance upgrades (Java 8.NET 4.6, SOA, Fortify). These initiatives reduced infra costs by 30%+ and cut response times by 300% while supporting millions of consumer lending customers.
