Technical Project Manager at Bristlecone integrating Generative AI, RAG, and Agentic AI workflows into engineering delivery.

India

Message

At Bristlecone (A Tech Mahindra Company), I direct end-to-end SDLC delivery for enterprise systems with complex SAP supply chain integrations. I’ve introduced Generative AI, RAG, and Agentic AI workflows to automate documentation, code reviews, and developer productivity tools.

I lead multi-squad delivery using SAFe and Scrum for teams of 25–30 engineers, and present cloud roadmaps and delivery metrics to executive leaders. My work includes managing schedules, budgets, and technical and operational risks.

Earlier, at Trianz, I executed AWS and Azure hybrid cloud migrations and helped deliver a digital media platform with LLM-powered search and conversational assistants. Across roles at State Street, Wells Fargo, JPMorgan Chase & Co., and other employers, I’ve worked on cloud platforms, Java microservices, APIs, and enterprise systems.
