Global Head of Intelligent Operations (Production Grade Agentic AI Systems & Workflow Orchestration) at DXC Technology, Jul 2021 - Mar 2026 · 4 yrs 9 mos, Bengaluru, ▶ Enterprise-Wide Workflow Transformation via Agentic AI Orchestration Spearheaded the global evolution of operational models by architecting a sophisticated Agentic AI orchestration framework. By transitioning from rigid, rule-based automation to autonomous, context-aware AI agents, I overhauled end-to-end workflows to enable self-correcting processes, significantly increasing operational velocity and reducing reliance on manual intervention across global business units. ▶ Re-defining Software Engineering through Multi-Agent Systems Pioneered the integration of Agentic AI within the Software Engineering lifecycle, effectively reengineering the SDLC into a high-efficiency, autonomous ecosystem. By deploying multi-agent swarms to handle complex tasks—ranging from requirements parsing and code generation to autonomous testing and deployment—I shifted the engineering paradigm from manual execution to strategic orchestration, resulting in accelerated speed-to-market and superior code resilience.
