About

14+ years of experience in software development, I am a Software Architect and Technical Lead specializing in Enterprise Software Applications, Cloud, AI, Industrial Automation, and IoT. My primary focus is designing and building scalable, secure, high-performance enterprise software applications that solve complex business problems and support evolving organizational needs. I work across the complete application lifecycle — from architecture and technology selection to development, cloud integration, deployment, and continuous improvement. Currently at Avalara, I work as a Technical Lead, contributing to the architecture and development of enterprise applications using microservices, cloud-native technologies, distributed systems, APIs, and modern software engineering practices. I work extensively with Microsoft Azure and AWS, designing solutions that are scalable, resilient, maintainable, and aligned with business objectives. I am also actively involved in AI engineering and AI-powered enterprise applications, including the integration of Generative AI, Claude/LLM technologies, and intelligent capabilities into cloud-based software solutions. I am particularly interested in how AI can enhance enterprise workflows, automation, decision-making, and customer experiences.
