About

I build engineering teams, platforms and products that turn AI and data into scalable enterprise solutions. Over the last 10 years, my career has evolved from software delivery and product execution to leading multidisciplinary engineering organizations across AI, SaaS, cloud, data platforms and digital transformation. Today, as Engineering Manager at Pivot Path, I lead a 42-member engineering organization across five product pods spanning Software Engineering, AI Engineering, Solution & Data Architecture, QA, Cloud & Infrastructure, DevOps, DevSecOps and engineering management. My work sits at the intersection of four areas: AI-FIRST PRODUCT ENGINEERING Building products where AI is part of the core architecture and user experience, not an add-on. My portfolio spans Procure-to-Pay, Launch & Programme Management, operational intelligence, investigation workflows, enterprise knowledge, document intelligence and pharmacovigilance. ENTERPRISE AI PLATFORMS Building reusable AI foundations that enable multiple product teams to use shared capabilities for Generative AI, enterprise knowledge, agentic workflows, intelligent retrieval, governance and observability. DATA & AI TRANSFORMATION Leading initiatives that connect fragmented enterprise systems into modern data platforms and convert operational data into actionable intelligence. Use cases include anomaly detection, early warnings, system-health monitoring, workforce optimization and periodic-review analytics. ENGINEERING LEADERSHIP I lead through engineering managers, architects and senior engineers, with a focus on strong ownership, architecture governance, accountable pods, reusable platforms, predictable execution and Product–Engineering alignment. My technology landscape spans AWS, Azure, Generative AI and modern data platforms, but technology alone is rarely the differentiator. The real challenge is turning it into products and capabilities that create measurable business value. I have deep experience in pharmaceutical and life-sciences technology, including regulated enterprise systems, while my engineering and AI work increasingly spans broader enterprise use cases and industries. Building teams. Building platforms. Building products that scale.
