Who Am I

Lead AI/ML Engineer & Tech Advocate

Watford, UK

As a Lead Backend Engineer with two decades of enterprise experience, I love architecting scalable AI/ML solutions on Google Cloud Platform that bridge cutting-edge research with real-world business impact. My journey from Java/J2EE enterprise development to cloud-native AI engineering has given me unique insights into both legacy system challenges and the exciting potential of AI transformation.

I create custom AI tools and educational content that help teams around the world adopt AI more effectively. I enjoy translating complex AI concepts into practical solutions and leading cross-functional teams through MLOps implementations while keeping an eye on cost optimization and scalability.

Based in the UK with experience across Indian, US, UK and European markets, I'm passionate about making AI more accessible through technical writing, mentoring, and speaking. Whether you're tackling enterprise AI challenges or exploring new possibilities in machine learning, I'd love to hear about your projects and share what I've learned along the way.
