What I'm looking for

I'm looking to lead enterprise cloud modernization, API and microservices architecture, and AI-driven solutions involving Generative AI, workflow automation, and RAG-based knowledge retrieval.

At Cognizant, I led enterprise digital transformation work spanning cloud-native architecture, microservices, API modernization, and automation platforms.

I've designed scalable enterprise applications and guided cross-functional teams through the full SDLC, architecture reviews, code reviews, and technical mentoring. My work emphasizes reliability, security, maintainability, and operational stability.

I'm also building AI-driven solutions using Generative AI, RAG-based enterprise knowledge retrieval, AI-assisted workflows, and cloud platforms. My technical foundation includes Java, Spring Boot, REST APIs, AWS, Docker, Kubernetes, MongoDB, and enterprise integration.

Earlier, I delivered enterprise application development, consulting, integration, and modernization projects across banking, retail, insurance, healthcare, telecom, and manufacturing.
