About

Solution Architect & Tech Lead with 7+ years of experience at McKinsey & Company, delivering large-scale digital platforms across healthcare, life sciences, and digital transformation initiatives. My work focuses on designing and implementing cloud-native architectures, building scalable distributed systems, and leading engineering teams across geographically distributed environments. My core expertise lies in microservices architecture, event-driven systems, and platform engineering. I have designed and built production systems spanning backend services, workflow orchestration, and modern web applications, enabling reliable and scalable enterprise solutions. I bring hands-on experience across a diverse technology stack — **Backend:** Node.js (NestJS), Java, Temporal, relational and NoSQL databases; **Frontend:** Next.js, React; **Cloud:** AWS, GCP; **AI:** Vertex AI, ADK, vector databases. I have also led the development of AI-enabled product capabilities, integrating LLM-powered workflows, agentic systems, and AI-assisted engineering practices into modern software development environments. As a technical lead and solution architect, I work closely with cross-functional teams to translate complex business requirements into scalable technology solutions.
