Architecting the future of Data & AI

I'm a Solution Director and Enterprise Architect specializing in Data & Analytics at HCLTech, where I lead enterprise data integration and digital transformation initiatives for Fortune 500 clients — modernizing data platforms and establishing robust data governance frameworks.

With over two decades of experience spanning IT services, chemicals, agricultural sciences, and cosmetics industries, I bring a unique cross-domain perspective to solving complex technology challenges. I've architected cloud-native platforms handling 130+ data sources, built high-performing teams of 50+ engineers, and delivered real-time data pipelines processing 1M+ daily transactions with 99.99% uptime.

I'm passionate about the intersection of AI innovation and practical enterprise application — from autonomous agents and Model Context Protocol (MCP) to cloud-native architectures on Azure Databricks and Snowflake. I regularly write about data strategy, AI governance, and enterprise architecture on Medium.
