What I'm looking for

I seek roles leading enterprise AI transformation where I can architect scalable Generative AI/MLOps solutions, mentor teams, and deliver measurable business impact in collaborative, innovation-focused environments.

I am a Principal AI/ML Solutions Architect with 30+ years of experience building enterprise-scale data and AI platforms across GCP, Azure, and AWS, specializing in legacy-to-AI transformation. I have led cross-functional teams, architected Generative AI and MLOps solutions (Azure OpenAI, Vertex AI, Gemini), and delivered measurable business outcomes such as reduced query turnaround times and decreased downtime through predictive maintenance.

My background includes deep expertise in Oracle analytics and enterprise applications, industrial IoT, big data pipelines (Kafka, Spark, Redshift, Hive), and production NLP solutions using BERT, Transformers, LangChain, and RAG. I am passionate about AI literacy, mentorship, and designing scalable architectures that align technical solutions with strategic business goals.
