What I'm looking for

I'm looking to lead and deliver secure, scalable Azure and AI/ML solutions, with end-to-end ownership across architecture, automation, deployment, and operations in high-stakes enterprise environments.

At SBI Funds Management, I led cloud architecture standards and migrated 25+ on-premise applications to Azure, delivering secure, scalable environments aligned with SEBI requirements.

I build production AI solutions using Azure OpenAI, NLP, Python, and Document Intelligence, including fraud-detection pipelines, multilingual financial-news sentiment analysis, and an investment decision support tool for fund managers.

Earlier at Tech Mahindra, I delivered Azure infrastructure and NLP chatbots for clients including AT&T and Nestlé. I enjoy owning work from requirements through deployment, automating delivery with Terraform and CI/CD, and mentoring engineers.
