I am a seasoned technical/solution architect/principal engineer with a strong background in cloud architecture, microservices, and agile methodologies. With extensive experience in collaborating with Global and National Systems Integrators (G/SI) and Independent Software Vendors (ISVs), I specialise in accelerating customer projects and driving technical strategies that leverage cloud-native architectures and AWS solutions. My career is underscored by a deep understanding and practical application of Test-Driven Development (TDD), Behavior-Driven Development (BDD), and architectural best practices, ensuring robust, reliable software solutions aligned with long-term business outcomes. In addition to my cloud expertise, I have a strong focus on AI-driven solutions, particularly in GenAI-based Conversational Customer Service solutions using platforms like Google Dialogflow and IBM Watsonx. I have successfully implemented these solutions for banking and financial clients, enhancing customer experience and operational efficiency. Furthermore, my experience includes technical leadership roles where I have led large engineering and architecture teams across EMEA and APAC regions. I excel in guiding teams through complex technical challenges and fostering a culture of innovation, collaboration, and continuous learning. My ability to bridge the gap between technical and business stakeholders has been instrumental in delivering high-impact solutions that meet both technical requirements and business objectives.
