About

I’m a Data and AI Architect who believes every data platform should be intelligent by design. With 20+ years of experience architecting enterprise data ecosystems, I don’t just build pipelines — I build AI-ready platforms that turn data into decisions. Currently at Visionet Systems, I’m leading the platform migration for RGA (Reinsurance Group of America) — transforming their legacy Oracle/Informatica ETL stack into a modern Snowflake + Prefect + Python architecture. This involves designing cross-region data solutions compliant with US DOJ regulations, re-architecting actuarial data pipelines, and building foundations for AI-powered analytics. Previously, I architected data platforms for Regeneron Pharmaceuticals (Spark, Databricks, Redshift, Dremio Lakehouse) and led the cloud transformation for Dainik Bhaskar Group — migrating 250+ servers from on-prem to AWS to GCP, achieving a 56% cost reduction while building AI-driven recommendation engines for millions of daily users. I’m currently pursuing a Doctorate in AI & Machine Learning from Walsh College (USA) — ranked #1 Best Online DBA by Forbes — because I believe the future of data architecture is inseparable from AI. My research interests include applying GenAI to enterprise data workflows, intelligent data governance, and AI-augmented decision systems. What I bring to the table:• Enterprise Architecture: Snowflake, AWS, GCP, Spark, Dremio, Redshift• AI & GenAI: Snowflake Cortex, AI-driven recommendations, predictive analytics, NLP• Data Governance: Acryl DataHub, Privacera, regulatory compliance (DOJ EO 14117)• Industries: Reinsurance, Pharma, Telecom, Media, Manufacturing, Defence• Leadership: Pre-sales solutioning, PoC/PoV delivery, technical team mentoring. I’m passionate about the intersection of data architecture and artificial intelligence.
