About

I am an Architect & Engineering Leader with over 15 years of experience building and scaling high-performance engineering organizations that bridge the gap between complex technical strategy and business growth. My career has been defined by taking products from 0-to-1 and architecting systems that thrive under hyper-scale demands, including environments handling 1M+ RPS and 25M+ daily transactions. Currently at Observe.ai, I spearhead the Agentic AI strategy, evolving our platform from a standard SaaS provider to a multi-agentic intelligence ecosystem. By orchestrating AI roadmaps that leverage root-cause reasoning across 40TB+ of data, I have helped reduce time-to-insight for our customers from days to mere minutes.
