About Rahul Uppal

Great banking technology is invisible when it works—and unforgettable when it doesn’t. Hence I build systems that don’t panic when the business does!I’m a Senior Development Lead with 10+ years of experience in Application Management and Development across the banking and financial services space. My sweet spot is turning messy, high-risk reconciliation (TLM) and workflow challenges into reliable, scalable, and business-ready platforms.From designing and developing applications to onboarding, migrations, and large-scale modernization, I’ve led end-to-end delivery across the full application lifecycle. Much of my work has focused on strengthening reconciliation frameworks, tightening control processes, and ensuring systems behave exactly as they should—especially when it matters most.I lead teams in agile environments with a strong focus on ownership, collaboration, and continuous improvement. I’m also an active contributor to Change Advisory Boards (CAB), balancing speed with stability and ensuring risk-aware releases across mission-critical environments.I’m deeply interested in bringing Continuous Improvement and SRE principles into day-to-day engineering—reducing noise, improving resilience, and building systems that don’t just work, but keep working.For me, technology leadership isn’t about noise or titles. It’s about clarity, reliability, and building solutions—and teams—that stand the test of time.What I work on:TLM Reconciliation • Workflow Automation • Application Management • Banking Platforms • SQL • Agile Delivery • CAB • SRE • Modernization • Production Stability
