What I'm looking for

I’m looking to lead global connectivity platform programs,Improving reliability and time-to-market, and using delivery analytics/AI to strengthen governance across cross-vendor teams.

I’m a Technical Platform Leader and Technical Program Manager with 19+ years driving CPE innovation and platform excellence for Tier 1 broadband operators, including 7.5+ years of hands-on USA-based engineering leadership (Comcast, Cox, Rogers, Shaw, Vodafone). I architect, validate, and deploy in-home connectivity solutions by translating operator requirements into scalable platform architecture and establishing best practices that strengthen technical capability.

At Tata Elxsi, I’ve led global broadband gateway programs (XB6/XB7/XB8) and release governance across distributed teams, directing multi-site delivery of high-throughput Wi‑Fi platforms while accelerating time-to-market. I orchestrated 10M+ connectivity unit migrations with zero downtime and have improved sprint visibility and decisions through AI-assisted delivery analytics using ChatGPT, Microsoft Copilot, and agentic AI frameworks; earlier, as a Lead Developer, I designed telecom management systems and voice applications across SIP/RTP and service delivery platforms.
