Background & capabilities

About me.

I work on client-facing Applied AI and forward-deployed engineering for enterprise finance and supply-chain analytics — connecting business requirements with Python services, retrieval and agent workflows.

What I do now

My official role is Senior Integration Consultant – Analytics & Information Management at Cervello India Pvt Ltd (a Kearney company), which I joined on 2 February 2026.

My functional responsibilities are client-facing Applied AI and forward-deployed engineering. My day-to-day is building analytics and agentic AI systems for finance and supply-chain teams: tracing KPIs from source systems to the screen, reconciling numbers that don't match, defining what an AI system may decide alone and where a human must sign off. Client work is confidential, so on this site I write about the patterns, never the projects.

Before consulting

My AI/ML career began with an internship in 2021, followed by engineering roles covering real-time retail computer vision, neural networks on microcontrollers and embedded cameras, retrieval pipelines and LLM-powered log analytics. This work connects model development with the backend services, deployment and monitoring needed to use it in production.
