I am passionate about technology and derive great pleasure in building software that solves real world problems. I have had the pleasure of developing world class software AND world class software engineers. In my 2 decades of work I have played a variety of roles – Frontend developer, Backend developer, DBA, ClearCase Admin, Cloud Architect, API Architect, AI Architect and Trainer. I’ve spent about 3 years building out Agentic AI solutions for customers across various verticals. And recently I’ve moved to teaching others to do the same as the Global AI Academy Head at Persistent Systems.
