About
🌐 Enterprise Data & Analytics Leader | AI/ML · Agentic AI · Cloud Architecture | 18+ Years I don't just build data platforms — I build the engines that power enterprise decisions. With 18+ years at the intersection of data engineering, cloud architecture, and analytics innovation, I've architected scalable, cloud-native platforms and led transformations that move organizations from data chaos to confident, insight-driven action — across Azure, GCP, AWS, Databricks, Microsoft Fabric, and Snowflake. My edge? I combine deep technical architecture with hands-on delivery leadership — from RFP and solutioning through to production deployment and hypercare. I've built reusable frameworks, led global cross-functional teams, and delivered multi-million-dollar programs across Healthcare, Retail, BFSI, and Manufacturing. ⚡ What I bring to the table: 🔷 Cloud-Native Data Architecture — Azure · GCP · AWS · Databricks · Microsoft Fabric 🔷 Agentic AI & ML Platforms — production-grade AI pipelines, LLM integration & governance 🔷 Real-Time BI & Analytics — Power BI Premium, Snowflake, Fabric Copilot 🔷 Metadata-Driven Engineering — self-describing pipelines, automation & reusable accelerators 🔷 Enterprise Data Governance — Unity Catalog, Microsoft Purview, end-to-end lineage 🔷 Program Delivery Excellence — Agile/SAFe, DataOps/MLOps, C-suite stakeholder alignment I thrive where data strategy meets engineering excellence — helping organizations unlock the full competitive value of their data assets, accelerate AI adoption, and build platforms that scale with the business. "From data chaos to confident decisions — that's the transformation I deliver."
