What I'm looking for

I seek a role where I can lead L&D and people strategy for tech teams, design scalable AI upskilling, and partner with senior leaders to drive measurable capability growth.

I am an L&D professional and strategic HR Business Partner with 4+ years of experience designing and executing large-scale skilling and capability-building programs in technology-driven environments. I have led multi-channel learning strategies—including AI proficiency frameworks—that reached 4,000+ employees and created 118 AI experts within six months, while partnering closely with senior stakeholders and engineering leaders to align learning with business transformation.

I specialize in building cohort-specific upskilling pathways, designing executive learning, and leveraging AI-powered people insights to inform data-driven decisions. My work has driven measurable outcomes such as 30% faster ramp-up time, wide adoption of AI practices across R&D teams, and the launch of scalable learning products for leaders and engineers.
