What I'm looking for

I seek senior leadership roles where I can drive data strategy, architect scalable distributed systems, lead cross-functional teams, and deliver measurable business impact.

I am a Data Analytics and Distributed Systems generalist with 17+ years of experience building high-availability, scalable systems and leading large engineering teams across multiple verticals.

I have led offshore development centers and teams of 30–40+ professionals, driven data strategy, governance assessments, and created solutions for supply chain control towers, process manufacturing, drug discovery ML models, and value-based care.

My work spans enterprise architecture, innovation (including a patent filing for ML in drug repurposing), cloud platforms (AWS/Azure), big data stacks, and business-facing delivery—balancing strategy, P&L, and hands-on technical architecture to deliver measurable outcomes.
