Technology Expertise
28+ years of hands-on depth across AI, SaaS, data engineering, cloud infrastructure, and industrial systems — always applied to measurable business outcomes rather than technology for its own sake.
The Cross-Domain Advantage
Most technology leaders come from either software or engineering. I have led at depth in both — from drone surveying on a 800-acre steel plant to re-architecting a global SaaS platform serving enterprise customers across US, Europe, and Japan. This rare combination means I translate shop-floor realities into scalable software decisions and enterprise software thinking into operational impact — a bridge most organisations struggle to build.
Technology Domains
Architecture & Platforms
Designed and delivered cloud-native, multi-tenant SaaS platforms from the ground up — re-architecting legacy monoliths into event-driven microservices with full scalability and governance.
Data Engineering & AI
Built real-time streaming analytics pipelines and AI-driven decision systems — transitioning enterprises from batch reporting to live, predictive intelligence at TB scale.
BI & Analytics
Delivered executive-grade BI platforms with governed semantic layers and standardized KPIs — enabling C-suite adoption and reducing manual deck preparation by 50–70%.
Cloud & DevOps
Deployed and operated global cloud infrastructure with full CI/CD automation — increasing release cadence from 1–2 per year to daily deployments and cutting infrastructure cost by 30%.
Enterprise Systems
Re-architected ERP systems across 25+ departments and integrated enterprise platforms to deliver unified data and operational transparency at board level.
Engineering & Digital Twin
Pioneered industry-first digital engineering practices — drone-based 3D modelling, LiDAR, BIM, and digital twins — reducing engineering rework by 20% across large brownfield sites.
Certifications & Credentials
Signature Technical Achievements
World-first satellite + aerial photogrammetry integration for Google 3D Maps
Led the photogrammetry production team at Cadworld delivering the first-of-its-kind 3D mapping dataset for a global platform.
Industry-first drone-based 3D modelling system at Tata Steel
Pioneered drone survey and LiDAR workflows across 800+ acres of brownfield plant — reducing planning time and recovering ~30% revenue leakage.
Monolith → microservices SaaS re-architecture at enterprise scale
Re-architected a legacy system into a cloud-native, multi-tenant SaaS platform using Spark, Kafka, and Kubernetes — removing the 1K-user ceiling entirely.
AI-driven procurement intelligence saving $1M+ annually
Built predictive scrap pricing and FX forecasting models that reduced procurement cycles from months to days.
NLP-based conversational BI interface
Developed an MCP reporting layer that converted complex BI queries into natural language — improving product adoption and reducing analyst dependency.
Real-time streaming analytics replacing twice-daily batch reporting
Built a Spark + Kafka streaming platform delivering live insights and improving executive decision-making speed across global enterprise customers.
