At SwayamRise, I co-founded and built an AI-powered Career Intelligence Platform that helps students make structured, data-driven career decisions. I took it from concept to a working product, including its AI/ML framework, assessment methodology and platform architecture.

At Swift Security, I led the technology vision for an AI-aware DLP platform, evolving data protection toward context-aware security using LLMs and semantic understanding. I also led development of AI-driven detection capabilities and Shadow AI discovery and governance.

Earlier, I architected and scaled an Enterprise DLP platform at McAfee / Intel, from proof-of-concept through enterprise adoption; the product was acquired by McAfee for $46M. Across my work in enterprise software, networking, cybersecurity and AI/ML, I’ve taken products from early concepts to production and customer adoption.
