I am a senior AI and Generative AI consultant with 20+ years of experience delivering enterprise-scale AI and machine learning solutions. I translate complex business problems into scalable, high-impact AI strategies and practical implementations across the full lifecycle—from use-case discovery and problem analysis to solution design, implementation, and production deployment. I serve as a trusted advisor and solution designer, owning model selection, prompt engineering, governance, and deployment patterns aligned with enterprise standards and regulatory requirements. I have hands-on experience building end-to-end AI/ML platforms on Azure, Databricks, and other cloud ecosystems, with a strong focus on data engineering, feature pipelines, model training, experiment tracking, and model lifecycle management. I have designed and operationalized Gen AI-powered, data-driven pipelines and knowledge management solutions, including Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) architectures and Medallion Architecture for structured ingestion, cleansing, and curation of both raw and Gen AI-derived data. I routinely deliver production-grade pipelines and AI readiness infrastructure with excellent attention to accuracy, explainability, observability, and governance.
