Who Am I

Google Developer Expert in Cloud AI & Google Cloud

Watford, UK

As a Google Developer Expert (GDE) in Cloud AI & Google Cloud and Lead Backend Engineer with two decades of enterprise experience, I architect agentic AI solutions on Google Cloud that bridge cutting-edge research with real-world business impact. My current focus is on agentic ecommerce, the Google Agent Development Kit (ADK), and Vertex AI -- building intelligent systems that go beyond simple automation to truly autonomous decision-making.

My journey from Java/J2EE enterprise development to cloud-native AI engineering has given me unique insights into both legacy system challenges and the transformative potential of agentic AI. I create custom AI tools and educational content that help teams around the world adopt AI more effectively, translating complex concepts into practical, production-ready solutions.

At VML, I'm actively involved in the AI Guild, the Agentic Commerce group, and Agent Skills initiatives -- driving enterprise adoption of agentic systems at scale. 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.
