Technical Director, Data Science, Robotics & Healthcare Engineering | Scaling AI, Robotics & MedTech Engineering Organizations | Driving P&L Growth & Product Innovation

About

I operate at the edge where P&L accountability meets deep engineering credibility. At Bosch Global Software Technologies, I lead AI, Robotics, and Healthcare Engineering across a team of 250+ engineers serving customers in the US, EU, and APAC. In the last 4 years I have taken two MedTech products from concept to market-ready release : noninvasive hemoglobin sensing solution and Digital Pathology platform. Before healthcare, I spent a decade in automotive - ADAS at Bosch architecting camera systems, surround-view cameras and driver assistance platforms that shipped in volume production. That foundation is not incidental. It's why I approach medical device software differently: with the rigor of regulated automotive engineering and the urgency of clinical outcomes. I hold an Executive General Management Programme credential from IIM Bangalore, and I author at the intersection of technology and clinical application. My work lives at the edge where technology meets engineering execution a zone most leaders approach from only one side. If you are building or scaling a AI & MedTech platform, I'm open to the conversation. Connect or message directly
