Full background →
I build production AI platforms that scale — not demos or isolated proofs of concept. Over 20 years, I have led global engineering organizations across enterprise platforms, distributed systems, autonomous driving, mapping, generative AI, and agentic systems spanning mobility and financial services. My work has focused on turning emerging technology into trusted production capabilities with measurable business outcomes. At Zip, I lead AI Platform and Agentic Solutions, building the platform foundations that enable AI systems, agents, intelligent workflows, and decision systems to operate safely and at scale in a regulated financial-services environment. Previously, at Krutrim and Ola, I led the architecture and delivery of agentic AI and large-scale platform capabilities spanning multi-model orchestration, multimodal systems, AI governance, evaluation frameworks, observability, and intelligent routing. Across my career, I have led organizations of more than 200 engineers and delivered major improvements in platform cost, reliability, adoption, and speed. I work at the intersection of AI platform strategy, agentic architecture, governance, FinOps, developer enablement, and organizational transformation. The problem I care most about is closing the gap between an impressive AI demonstration and a production system that people, businesses, and regulators can trust.

Most AI programs fail in production because governance, orchestration, reliability, and cost ownership are bolted on too late.
I build production AI systems — not prototypes.
I optimize for cost, latency, and scalability — not just model quality.
I align engineering, product, and business teams around measurable outcomes.
I design AI systems with measurable quality loops and human oversight and governance.
Signature System: AI Evaluation Showcase
Offline eval suites, live drift monitoring, hallucination indicators, and regression-minded quality gating are built into this platform.
Why this matters: quality regressions are surfaced before release, so AI reliability is managed as an engineering system.
