What I'm looking for

I’m looking to lead end-to-end enterprise GenAI delivery—owning architecture, production deployment, and LLMOps—while partnering with cross-functional teams. I want a fast-paced environment that values Responsible AI, measurable outcomes, and scalable AI foundations.

I’m a GenAI and data solution architect with 18 years of experience, including 12+ years in AI/ML and data platforms. I specialize in enterprise GenAI and LLM-based system design—especially agentic architectures, data architecture, and production AI deployment.

I currently serve as the single-threaded technical owner for AI solutions within KPMG’s delivery network, leading a 100+ person practice that designs, builds, and deploys end-to-end AI systems. I lead architecture decisions and production releases, delivering reference architectures for RAG and agentic workflows, from data ingestion to user experience and deployment.

My hands-on expertise spans generative AI and LLM orchestration (LangChain, LangGraph, Semantic Kernel, Microsoft Agent Framework, A2A), plus cloud-native platforms (Azure ML, AWS SageMaker, GCP Vertex AI). I build production-grade AI microservices and govern AI operating models (MLOps/LLMOps) with CI/CD, monitoring, drift detection, and retraining workflows—while leading Responsible AI initiatives across ethics, bias, privacy, and regulatory compliance.
