With over two decades of experience in the IT industry, I am a Strategic Engineering Leader with a deep focus on digital transformation, AI integration, and data-driven product innovation. My expertise lies in architecting intelligent systems that combine different tools/agents/systems, automation, and analytics to solve complex business challenges across sectors such as fintech, healthcare, and public services.

Over the past few years, I’ve led the development and deployment of multiple solutions that automate knowledge retrieval, orchestrate multi-step business workflows, and enhance human decision-making. I have used AI frameworks like LangChain, CrewAI, and ReAct to design scalable multi-agent systems that balance autonomy with control. These implementations have significantly improved operational efficiency, user experience, and stakeholder engagement.

A strong advocate for practical, ethical, and secure AI adoption, I help organizations bridge the gap between emerging AI capabilities and enterprise readiness. I’ve mentored global engineering teams and consultants in building AI-driven platforms, fostering a culture of innovation, experimentation, and continuous learning.

My passion lies in enabling businesses to move beyond automation and into intelligent collaboration — where human and agent teams co-create value. I am excited to contribute to the evolving AI ecosystem and share insights that empower teams to build resilient, human-aligned AI solutions
