About

With over 20 years of experience in enterprise technology and artificial intelligence, I bring a unique blend of strategic leadership and hands-on expertise across AI architecture, cloud platforms, and business transformation. Having led large-scale AI initiatives and advised global organizations, I specialize in helping businesses identify high-impact AI opportunities, design scalable solutions, and implement responsible, value-driven AI systems. My experience spans Generative AI, including large language models, Retrieval Augmented Generation (RAG), and agentic AI, along with deep expertise in enterprise systems, cloud architecture (AWS and OCI), and AI governance. I have worked closely with CXOs and cross-functional teams to translate complex business challenges into practical, outcome-oriented technology solutions. As a mentor, I can help professionals and aspiring leaders navigate careers in AI, build strong foundations in applied AI and system design, and understand how to bridge the gap between technology and business value. I also support founders and practitioners in shaping AI strategies, evaluating use cases, and avoiding common pitfalls in real-world implementations. I am passionate about mentoring because I believe the true potential of AI lies in how effectively people can apply it. I aim to share practical insights, accelerate learning, and help others make confident, future-ready career and business decisions.
