I am an educational consultant for Artificial Intelligence, Data Science, and Cloud application development. I am passionate about making learning and upskilling meaningful and impactful for the learners. I have completed the PG program in AI and ML from Great Learning, affiliated with Mc Combs business school, University of Texas, Dallas. I am a certified educator and I conduct technical training for corporates and individual adult learners. I am a software engineer, backed by many years of experience in software development in product-based and project-based companies with involvement in the SDLC. This experience is integrated into my blended teaching methodologies. I embarked on a journey to re-skill staff who did not have the luxury of the hiatus to catch up with technology besides what they got to work on or sometimes left behind technology as they explored other areas. It has been the most gratifying experience to be able to teach technology and hone myself in it too. I have an in-depth understanding of software development using Agile methodologies and DevOps. My extensive international work experience has made me comfortable working with and in different cultures.

With over 24 years of experience, I have effectively led technology and architecture teams, driving digital transformation and business growth for Fortune 500 companies. My expertise includes managing strategic consulting engagements and implementing large-scale solutions that have achieved annual contract values between $10M and $300M, particularly in turnaround scenarios. As an engineering leader, I guide cross-functional teams in deploying distributed solutions across various domains, including Cloud, AI/ML, eCommerce, Microservices, DevSecOps, legacy modernization, performance optimization, Generative AI, and Machine Learning. I prioritize building exceptional technology teams by mentoring and inspiring top technical talent, fostering a culture of rapid innovation and collaboration. I serve as a trusted advisor, nurturing long-term relationships with C-Level executives and stakeholders to drive the implementation of strategic technology initiatives. My approach combines a big-picture perspective with attention to detail, providing hands-on guidance for creating highly scalable and efficient solutions. I assist in developing minimum viable products (MVPs), evaluating products, enabling developers, and advocating for open-source technologies. As an innovation catalyst, I lead the ideation and Go-to-Market strategies for intellectual property solutions that leverage cloud services, data analytics, and AI/ML to provide strategic advantages to enterprise customers. Additionally, I have authored successful technology courses on Coursera covering topics such as Microsoft security, front-end and back-end development, DevOps, and Generative AI, positively impacting over 70,000 learners.
