At QubitAI.in, I developed DIRAC, a mathematical framework that quantified hidden AI engineering friction and revealed 24.16% capacity loss and $1.8M in annual financial exposure. I also built FERMI, an AI architecture cost simulator that models Agentic topologies at the microtransaction level.

At Entrata, I led an engineering transformation that reduced bugs by 71% and bug costs by 97%. I introduced a self-service module that lowered user requests by 98%, recovered seven engineer-sprints per quarter, and delivered $42.5K in first-quarter savings on a $14.8K investment.

At LRN, I introduced hybrid cloud on AWS and Docker to support new product delivery and helped scale engineering capacity from 10 to 150+. I also founded an Innovation Lab and built analytics and an ML recommendation system that validated 15% re-engagement and 10% sales impact.
