About Me

Technical & Business Expert With 15+ Years Experience

I've earned my reputation as a valuable team member who bridges complex technical solutions with their business use cases. I don't just advise—I architect transformation.

My journey has taken me from the operational complexities of the global travel industry to the cutting edge of AI, where I've cultivated a rare blend of Fortune 500 strategic discipline and entrepreneurial agility.

My technical arsenal runs deep—AI/ML implementation, data engineering architecture, and advanced customer analytics that extract meaning from chaos. But my true value lies at the intersection of emerging technology and business strategy, where abstract innovations become concrete results.

I don't provide cookie-cutter solutions. Your challenges are unique, and my approach reflects that reality—collaborative, curious, and relentlessly driven on outcomes that matter. When you bring me in, you're not getting a consultant who talks in theoretical frameworks. You're getting a partner who delivers measurable impact.

What complex challenge can I help you solve today?
