@umapathiutthamaraj

I lead AI-first engineering transformations, building secure, scalable platforms and global technology teams.

At Ametros Financial, I lead enterprise technology and AI transformation, modernizing platforms and embedding Generative AI, MLOps, governance, and responsible-AI guardrails across the product portfolio. I built AI-assisted claims processing and an Azure OpenAI GPT-4 copilot for operations and compliance teams, while rolling out GitHub Copilot to improve engineering efficiency by 20%.

Previously, I led technology organizations at Simply Business and 89 Degrees, scaling engineering teams, launching insurance platforms, and delivering cloud data solutions for clients including IKEA and Dow Jones. I bring hands-on architecture and engineering experience across Azure, AWS, C#, ASP.NET, SQL Server, DevOps, and AI-driven product development.
