Summary
I architect AI solutions at Nokia in Bengaluru — built on 11+ years of shipping software, from PHP backends in my early days to cloud-native AWS systems and AI-powered products today. I thrive on crafting solutions that don't just tick the technical boxes but also empower the teams using them. This site is my corner of the internet: my work, my writing, my experiments.
