Completed an Executive MBA alongside a full-time role, concentrating in Finance and Entrepreneurship & Innovation to complement a deep technical foundation in AI.
I build things. Coupled with a curiosity for the sciences and a design-thinking lens, I find real purpose in conceptualizing, developing, and driving adoption of complex AI systems that people actually find useful in their work and lives.
Over 13+ years, I have conceptualized, designed, developed, and deployed AI and Gen AI powered products across pharmaceuticals, life sciences, health plans, insurance, high tech, finance, and other industries. I specialize in 0-to-1 problem solving, taking an ill-defined challenge in an unfamiliar domain and turning it into a working, commercialized product. Today I focus on building multi-agent systems that automate operations and decision-making.
My work sits at the intersection of AI/ML, product strategy, and cross-functional leadership: partnering with domain experts to deeply understand a problem, conceptualizing the solution, leading engineering and data science teams to build it, and working alongside executives and sales teams to take it to market. Along the way, I have developed a knack for cross-pollinating frameworks from machine learning, design thinking, and adjacent disciplines to solve novel problems.
I am currently a Senior Manager (Gen AI) at PwC. I completed my Executive MBA at The Wharton School alongside my full-time role, and hold a Bachelor's in Electronics and Communication Engineering from Netaji Subhas Institute of Technology (University of Delhi).
I am continuously on the lookout for increasingly complex, system-level challenges, and for new opportunities to build.

If you find my work interesting, my experience relevant, or my skills suitable for what you're building, or if you'd simply like to exchange ideas, I'd love to hear from you.
Beyond my core work in AI and Gen AI product development, I have an orthogonal interest in exploring AI applications in venture capital, private equity, public policy, and other relatively untouched areas. I enjoy tackling system-level challenges and cross-pollinating ideas across disciplines.
I'm always open to relevant opportunities, collaborations, and conversations. If something aligns, reach out.
