What I'm Working On

AI Agent Enablement · Data Governance · Product Engineering at Scale

🤖

AI Agent Enablement

Enabling engineering teams to work with AI agents day to day — agentic workflows for development, code review, and operations. The goal: measurably more output per engineer, with quality guardrails, not AI theater.

🛡️

Data Governance for AI

The most crucial part of my current work: shaping how data is classified, governed, and made safely usable for AI. I work with policy makers, portfolio managers, and senior leadership across a 2,000+ person technology organization in India to turn governance policy into engineering practice.

⚙️

Product Engineering at Scale

My product line's India team (100+ engineers across the portfolio) delivers critical product enhancement and product-pivot work for a high-volume UPS business line — including significant partner integrations — at highly effective cost.

🧭

People Leadership

Managing 20+ engineers and aligning individual passion with the complex challenges ahead in IT — so the people who want hard problems get them, and grow into leaders while solving them.
