About Me
A journey spanning 18+ years, from developer to AI engineering leader, bridging continents and technologies
Professional Journey
My career in software engineering began in 2006 in India, where I started as a developer passionate about building robust, scalable systems. Over the years, I progressed through technical leadership roles, working with global clients across finance, retail, and hospitality sectors.
From Pune to Kolkata, and eventually to Charlotte, NC in the United States, my journey has been marked by continuous learning and adaptation. Each transition brought new challenges and opportunities to work with cutting-edge technologies and methodologies.
Today, as a Sr. Manager at Lowe's, I lead initiatives at the intersection of traditional software engineering and artificial intelligence. My recent work on the Retail Resilience Engine, published in IEEE Access, represents the culmination of years of experience building enterprise systems combined with modern AI capabilities.
