About

​Engineering Leader | Agentic AI Transformation, Strategy and Cloud Architecture | Team modernisation for automation first, AI first engineering, code & tests generation, agenticAI and RAG usage. ​With nearly 20 years of experience in the technology sector, I specialize in building high-performing engineering units from scratch and modernizing product ecosystems through GenAI thought engineering, Agentic AI, and AIOps. My career is defined by a transition from traditional software leadership to architecting autonomous, multi-agent systems that drive multi-million dollar topline growth. ​🚀 Key Projects & Strategic Impact • ​HealthTech (Asia Pacific): Architected a RAG-based Agentic AI orchestration system for a SaaS platform serving 500,000 customers. Implemented ethical security layers and local data hosting to eliminate hallucinations. Revenue: $10M. • ​FinTech Consultancy (USA): Led a 50-person team to revamp architecture into a Multi-Agent framework. Developed session-based context history to optimize decision-making across complex compliance, audit, and wealth data. Revenue: >$100M. • ​PetTech (India): Designed a pilot Agentic RAG system to analyze pet behavior parameters for automated wellbeing diagnostics. Revenue: <$1M. ​🛠 Technical Specialization ​I own the end-to-end architecture and design of: • ​Agentic Frameworks: Custom orchestration using Manager/Worker, Swarm patterns, and Micro-Agent platforms. • ​AI Stack: Expert implementation using LangGraph, AutoGen, LangChain4j, LLMs/SLMs, and MCP servers. • ​Memory & Security: Long-term memory management via Pinecone and MongoDB, tied to SessionIDs for persistent user context and ethical model sanitization. • ​AIOps & Automation: Leveraging Claude Code, GitHub Copilot, Dynatrace, and Prometheus for automated test data, code generation, and p99 monitoring. ​📈 Leadership & Scale ​I bridge the gap between deep technical design and business growth: • ​Team Building: Proven success in scaling teams from 0 to 1 (greenfield) and driving innovation in brownfield projects (1–10+ members). • ​Business Growth: Managed budgets for units generating $1M to $100M, directly affecting sales through product roadmaps that optimize user conversion and resolution TAT. • ​Mentorship: Defining engineering OKRs/KPIs, creating career frameworks, and coaching the next generation of technical leaders.

Fractional Lead -Tech /CTO at Fractional Jobs, Aug 2025 - Present · 1 yr 3 mos, Anywhere, Al transformation strategy and governance through multi-agent RAG architectures and Al strategic governance. @Healthtech Startup (APAC, USD 10m): Architected and built a RAG-based Agentic Al platform using LangGraph, Temporal Workflow, Temporal Activity, and multi-agent orchestration. Enforced ethical checks with NeMo Guardrails to ensure reliable medical diagnostic assistance. @Fintech Consultancy (USA, >USD 100m): Architected robust multi-agent frameworks, utilizing CrewAl for automated investment portfolio rebalancing with integrated compliance and user-approval workflows, and AutoGen for executing complex tax-loss harvesting strategies with automated audit-trail generation. Orchestrated using Temporal Workflow/ Activity for high-reliability state management. RAG via MongoDB Vector Search + Cross-Encoders and applied RLHF feedback loops using TRL to optimize compliance-validated workflows. @Petcare Startup (India): Architected and built a RAG diagnostic system for pet behavior, utilizing Guardrails Al to prevent model toxicity. Al-First Ecosystem, K8s & AIOps: Standardized developer toolchains using Cursor, GitHub Copilot, and Claude Code/ Copilot. Designed self-healing GitOps loops using K8sgpt to auto-analyze cluster exceptions and trigger remediation PRs via GitHub Actions. Deployed predictive token-aware autoscaling using KEDA and Prometheus/Dynatrace. Context, Memory & Caching: Architected stateful multi-agent workflows using LangGraph, Temporal Workflow/ Activity for session awareness & RAG pipelines (MongoDB/ElasticSearch) for persistent long-term memory; optimized latency via Redis and Semantic Caching (GPTCache/ LangChain) to reduce LLM overhead, validated via RAGAS/ DeepEval. Model Evaluation & Infrastructure Automation: Built rigorous eval pipelines with RAGAS, DeepEval, and LangSmith. Configured serverless GenAl orchestration through AWS Bedrock (and Azure OpenAl), implementing automated model request autoscaling and fallback thresholds.

Caregiver for my critically ill Daughter at Break, Sep 2024 - Jul 2025 · 11 mos, Bengaluru, A few weeks back, life took a turn and within just about 12 hrs, almost overnight, my younger daughter, Sumayyah was in ICU with DKA and as a result was diagnosed with an autoimmune condition, T1D. We never saw this coming, not with her infectious energy and bubbliness and broken speech yet a constant talking one. She touched death and came back during her ICU stay. We needed time to get her back up to functionally sound physical and mental health post hospitalisation. We also needed to understand and implement 1. regimens for effective continuous glucose monitoring and management, 2. build a dictionary of food based on glycemic indices, nutritional content, weight and timing of food, 3. insulin dosages and frequencies (almost 4 to 5 times every day) (2 types - long and short acting insulins daily), 4. understanding of effect of cortisol at different times of the day, 5. immediate and effective response when sugars trend towards periluous lows due to insulin peak times, activity levels, different GI of foods, cortisol effects and female hormone responses differently at different times of a month, perilously low sugars being life threatening in immediate term. We are happy our daughter is back now to almost normal functioning after months of declined health though she is insulin and glucose monitoring sensor dependent for life. She now requires lesser involvement in monitoring her sensor values, food, activity and wellbeing but not without continual daily oversight.
