About

I build Data, AI & Analytics platforms — mostly around Data & AI governance, metadata, data warehouses and BI. Most of this has been inside GCCs, working across banking, telecom, and financial services. Along the way I've picked up 2 patents and spent time on R&D funding proposals, startup acquisition evaluation exercises, build-vs-buy evaluations and Tier-1 university evaluations for tech research. Launched 4 enterprise products, including a metadata catalog now used by 3,000+ people that cut licensing costs by about $5M. Also built a natural language to SQL generator and a pipeline designer, both aimed at cutting down repetitive engineering work. Laid the foundation for the enterprise AI governance platform — built AI Model registry, explainability, bias, drift, explainability tool evaluation. Setup risk framework, responsible AI standards for both traditional ML and Gen AI. Worked on data governance more broadly too — better data discovery, lineage, and support for things like PII labelling and legal holds. Deeply involved in Go-to-market strategies of all enterprise products. Earlier on, I architected 4 data warehousing builds and championed BI solutions for banking, insurance, and telecom clients.
