What I'm looking for

I'm looking to build and scale AI-powered platforms, lead global engineering organizations, and turn AI/ML systems into measurable revenue, margin, and customer-conversion outcomes.

I founded Zenith, building an AI-powered enterprise communications platform from concept to MVP with autonomous agents for task extraction, cross-platform search, and NLP-based summarization.

As CPTO at Raena, I led 50+ engineers across four countries and delivered an ML recommendation engine generating $8,000 in monthly incremental revenue. I also built a pricing and cost optimization engine that expanded margins from 3% to 10%.

Across Sayurbox, Umma, Snapdeal, Paytm, and PayPal, I’ve built demand forecasting, warehouse, checkout, payments, and recommendation systems while scaling technology organizations and high-availability platforms.
