I build responsible AI governance and Azure OpenAI solutions that deliver measurable business value.
What I'm looking for
At Hexaware, I deliver Azure OpenAI solutions including OCR automation, RAG-based document intelligence, and demand forecasting. These deployments generate $300K+ in annual value, reduce decision latency by 40%, and improve document retrieval accuracy by 25%.
I embed responsible AI practices before go-live through risk-thinking sessions, pre-deployment checklists, AI literacy sessions, and alignment to organisational risk appetite. Independently, I built four end-to-end Responsible AI governance case studies across insurance, pharma, FMCG, and contact centres, identifying 57 risks across 10+ regulatory frameworks.
Previously at Accenture, I led cross-functional transformation projects using Lean Six Sigma, automation, analytics, RPA, and Power BI. My work delivered $395K in annual cost savings, $713K in efficiency gains, and substantial reductions in reporting effort.
I bring 12+ years across BFSI, FinTech, and insurance, alongside IAPP-AIGP, Microsoft AI Transformation Leader, Lean Six Sigma Black Belt, and PMP credentials. I enjoy translating AI governance, risk, and operational improvement into practical action for business teams.
