14+ Years Building Enterprise Systems | M.Tech in Data Science & AI — IIIT Dharwad
The Engineer Behind the Code
AI practitioner and full stack architect with 14+ years building enterprise software across compliance, pharma, banking, financial services, IoT, and telecom. From embedded systems and neural networks to leading full-stack teams at Fortune 500 companies — now deepening AI expertise through an M.Tech in Data Science & AI from IIIT Dharwad while driving engineering excellence in compliance technology.
14+ years of shipping enterprise software across six industries, combined with cutting-edge AI/ML specialization. The best AI products are built by engineers who understand both the algorithms and the real-world systems they serve.
My journey started in 2012 building IoT cloud agents and neural network-powered apps at a semiconductor company — that early exposure to AI planted a seed that never stopped growing. Over 14 years, I've architected banking platforms, led teams at Fortune 500 companies, and shipped systems across six industries. Now, I'm combining that enterprise foundation with a formal M.Tech in Data Science & AI. I believe the best AI engineers aren't just algorithm experts — they're builders who understand the real-world systems AI needs to serve.
