About Me

I'm a passionate technologist with over 19 years of experience in software engineering, currently leading AI/ML initiatives at Kanaka Software. My journey has taken me from developing device drivers and database systems to architecting cutting-edge AI solutions.

At Kanaka Software, I lead the technical development of multi-agent orchestration systems for TalentPulse360, an AI-driven HR intelligence platform. I've built production-grade systems using Python, LangChain, AutoGen, and Google's Agent Development Kit, backed by Gemini Pro and Flash for collaborative AI agents.

I have a proven track record of mentoring engineering teams, translating complex AI concepts into business value, and delivering solutions for global enterprises including Saudi Aramco, Westpac, Bank of America Merrill Lynch, and DBS Singapore.

My expertise spans the full technology stack—from low-level database optimization to high-level AI architecture—enabling me to build robust, scalable, and innovative solutions.
