My journey has been marked by a proven track record of aligning cross-functional teams around customer needs and platform strategy, delivering compliant, secure, and business-critical solutions.

At Tech Mahindra Americas, I drove a multi-year data platform modernization strategy that cut processing costs by $2M and improved data efficiency by 30%. I have successfully collaborated with C-suite executives and engineering stakeholders to align product vision with business objectives, resulting in a significant increase in platform adoption. My passion lies in solving multidimensional problems at the intersection of technology and customer experience, and I thrive in environments that challenge me to innovate and lead.
