Lead Software Engineer and staff-level technical leader with 15+ years architecting production GenAI platforms, distributed systems, and enterprise search solutions. I lead engineering teams of 10+ and drive end-to-end delivery from architecture and governance to observability, evaluation, and cost optimization. I have delivered real-time analytics and search at scale and built production agentic AI systems—most notably migrating a 70M+ annual-call IVR ecosystem to a Google ADK-based multi-agent architecture, improving call containment and cutting LLM token/inference costs significantly through context management, orchestration, and rigorous evaluation.

Work Experience

Lead Software Engineer at Lowe's Services India Pvt. Ltd.
February 1, 2020 - Present
Led enterprise migration of a high-volume IVR ecosystem from legacy NLU and deterministic dialog flows to a production GenAI multi-agent platform using Google Agent Development Kit (ADK). Improved call containment from 18% to 40% across 70M+ annual calls while reducing live-agent dependency. Architected domain-specialized agents (e.g., order status and product availability) using Agent2Agent (A2A) for delegation and MCP for standardized tool/API integration, with shared session/context continuity via controlled state propagation and context compaction, cutting token and inference cost by 50% vs. an initial monolithic agent design. Implemented production observability and evaluation by instrumenting OpenTelemetry traces and analyzing orchestrator/subagent/LLM/tool/retrieval signals in Arize. Built GenAI IVR analytics/conversation intelligence using Azure Communication Services, Whisper, OpenAI APIs, RAG, and FAISS to process 100K+ calls/day. Defined and delivered cloud-native microserv
