What I'm looking for

I’m looking for fully remote enterprise AI strategy and business transformation work, delivering AI roadmaps, workflow automation, and LLM-powered agents with measurable ROI across Europe, international time zones, and beyond.

I’m an AI strategy & business transformation consultant who understands both how organizations work and how AI creates value inside them. With 18+ years across enterprise operations, IT infrastructure, and engineering consulting, I design AI roadmaps that map use cases to real decision bottlenecks and people dynamics. Since 2016, I’ve independently designed and deployed AI-powered solutions for clients across India, Europe, Canada, and the Middle East, delivering fully remotely across these time zones.

I specialize in end-to-end AI transformation: I’ve designed strategies for 15+ businesses across retail, distribution, garment manufacturing, and professional services, building phased roadmaps with measurable ROI targets. I deploy workflow automation using n8n, Zapier, WhatsApp Business API, and ChatGPT/Gemini—eliminating 10–20 hours of manual work per client per week and reducing delivery cycle times by 20–30%. I also run AI readiness assessments and workflow audits to restructure data environments and enable leadership to move from intuition to data-driven decisions.

I build intelligent inventory and LLM-powered systems, including AI-driven demand forecasting with Power BI dashboards that reduce overstock by 20–30%. I also deliver LLM-powered AI agents using OpenAI APIs, Claude, and Google Gemini to reduce manual workload by 40–60% on client operations. Earlier in my career, as an IT Infrastructure Project Manager at Société Générale Global Solution Centre, I coordinated cross-border delivery and sustained 99.5% uptime—an operational discipline I bring into every AI transformation.
