Head of Data, AI and BI Analytics Platform at UKRI; delivered an 84%-accurate duplicate application detection model.

At UKRI, I lead work across data, AI and BI analytics platforms. On the Cobalt Analytics project, I developed and deployed a duplicate application detection model that achieved 84% accuracy, and helped secure £5M+ in investment for further AI initiatives.

I led a £5M+ programme to modernize UKRI’s data infrastructure, migrating legacy systems to AWS-hosted solutions. I also replaced 350+ JasperSoft reports with Power BI dashboards and directed a team of 27+ professionals.

At UST GLOBAL, I worked as Delivery Tech Lead for Experian’s Open Banking product, contributing to its technical roadmap and implementation across the EMEA region. At Brillio Technologies, I managed data migration and analytics projects, including a Kaggle-like AI and data science competition platform built on AWS.

Earlier, I worked across data analytics, cloud migration and software delivery at IBM INDIA LTD, Tech Mahindra, Nihilent Technologies, Keane India Ltd and SYNERGY SOFTWARE LIMITED. My work has included blockchain architecture and smart contracts using Solidity and Vyper, alongside cloud, data and agile delivery programmes.
