About

Engineering leader with 20 years of experience delivering secure, scalable web platforms and distributed systems at enterprise scale. I care about building high-performing teams and shipping high-quality experiences with measurable business impact.

Now

At Microsoft (Cloud + AI), I lead technical strategy and engineering delivery for critical datacenter infrastructure services, including power capping, sub-synchronous oscillation detection, and telemetry ingestion at hyperscale. I also drive AI adoption initiatives across a 600-developer organization, building frameworks like Spected that make any repository AI-agent ready in minutes, and architecting OTTER, a multi-agent AI system for automated production incident investigation.

Previously

At Microsoft Whiteboard and Teams, I developed Copilot for Microsoft Whiteboard, leveraging LLMs to enable AI-powered collaboration for millions of users across Web, iOS, Android, Surface Hub, and Microsoft Teams Rooms.

At Expedia Group, I led a team of 8 engineers building the global payment platform. We designed a payment vault managing 500M+ payment instruments across 20+ brands, with a tokenization architecture that reduced PCI footprint and saved $4M/year in infrastructure costs. I also led the SCA (Strong Customer Authentication) implementation for European regulatory compliance.

Before that, I built healthcare data services and microservices at Premera BlueCross, and enterprise telecom applications at Accenture.

Education

Master of Science in Computer Science from Georgia Institute of Technology. Master of Computer Applications from Sikkim Manipal University, India.

Technical focus

Python, C#/.NET, Java, TypeScript. Azure and AWS. Distributed system design, AI/ML (LLM agents, RAG architectures, context engineering), CI/CD, operational excellence, and security compliance.

I write about the intersection of AI and software engineering practice, with a focus on what changes (and what stays the same) as AI tools become part of the daily workflow.
