ML & Data Architect @ Upstox | Co-organiser @ Google Developer Group MAD, Mumbai

************************************

I’m a creative technologist with over 9 years of experience designing AI and data-driven solutions that are both scalable and customer-centric. At the intersection of cloud-native architecture and GenAI, I specialize in building data products and platforms that thrive in highly regulated industries.

My portfolio spans:

• Generative AI-powered customer service agents for stock trading,
• Personalization engines for increasing engagement,
• Search for enhancing user accessibility,
• Internet-scale customer data platforms,
• Real-time trade stream processors for compliance,
• Human-in-the-loop AI for digital lending,
• Assistive health devices — including a wound analysis device & alternative communication device for paralytics.

I’m known for turning abstract ideas into working prototypes quickly, scaling them with solid engineering practices and cohesive teams. I thrive on identifying unsolved problems, crafting elegant solutions, and bridging the gap between innovation and execution.

Most of my work is rooted in building resilient ML and data platforms for FinTech — where reliability, compliance, and user experience converge. I believe problem-solving is as much a creative discipline as a technical one and approach each challenge with that mindset.
