Principal AI Systems Architect & Product Engineering Leader at Hexaware Technologies (2023-01 – Present)
Lead enterprise AI transformation across generative AI, agentic systems, intelligent automation, and cloud data platforms, owning architecture, delivery, and governance.
- Architect production LLM applications on OpenAI, Anthropic Claude, Gemini, and Azure OpenAI; build multi-agent systems on LangGraph, CrewAI, AutoGen, and MCP powering live enterprise workflows.
- Designed a stateful multi-agent RAG platform (planner, retrieval, validation, and citation agents) combining semantic search, BM25 keyword retrieval, and cross-encoder reranking, with full source traceability for regulated-industry sign-off; token-aware caching and retrieval pruning cut LLM costs roughly 40%.
- Built an AI-assisted engineering governance and code-evaluation platform — static analysis, security scanning, LLM-based semantic review, and policy checks wired into CI/CD — scaled to tens of thousands of evaluations org-wide.
- Authored the AI governance and security compliance framework (RBAC, PII handling, audit logging) adopted across every production AI deployment at Hexaware.
- Mentor engineering and AI product teams across full-stack and cloud-native disciplines.
- Result: AI-assisted development pipelines designed cut average delivery-cycle time by roughly 45% across participating teams.
Lead Full-Stack & Data Engineering Architect at Coforge (2018-07 – 2022-12)
- Designed and delivered enterprise web applications and SaaS platforms (React, Next.js, TypeScript, FastAPI, Django, Node.js, PostgreSQL) across banking, healthcare, telecom, and retail, from architecture through production.
- Led migration of a multi-tenant SaaS monolith to event-driven microservices with schema-based tenant isolation, enabling new-tenant onboarding without per-tenant infrastructure work.
- Designed a centralized OAuth2/JWT/RBAC/SSO authentication layer reused across multiple client platforms.
- Stood up DevOps pipelines (GitHub Actions, Jenkins, Docker, Kubernetes, Terraform) that took deployment cycles from weeks to hours, and built cloud-native applications across Azure, AWS, and GCP.
- Designed a unified data lakehouse architecture (Databricks, Snowflake, Spark, Kafka, Airflow) spanning structured, semi-structured, and unstructured data with lineage and schema evolution built in; solved streaming challenges (backpressure, partition skew, exactly-once delivery) migrating core reporting to near-real-time, and automated data-quality monitoring that cut pipeline failure rates roughly 80%.
- Result: led the monolith-to-microservices migration that took platform scalability up roughly 3x while supporting a 5x increase in tenant workloads.
Senior Software Engineer – Data Platforms & Automation at GlobalLogic (2016-01 – 2018-06)
- Built high-volume backend platforms (Python, Java, SQL) and large-scale ETL/ELT pipelines (Spark, Kafka, Airflow) processing billions of records across distributed data platforms.
- Designed automation frameworks for API integrations, workflow orchestration, operational monitoring, and browser-based web-data-extraction (Selenium), cutting manual operational effort by an estimated 70%.
Software Engineer – Product Development at Informatica (2013-07 – 2015-12)
- Built backend services, metadata management modules, and workflow orchestration components within Informatica's data integration product; designed REST services and optimized SQL execution plans at scale.
- Result: shipped platform features adopted by Fortune 500 customers and reduced processing latency across core modules through query- and code-level optimization.
Software Engineer – Enterprise Applications at Infosys Limited (2011-07 – 2013-06)
- Built enterprise applications (Java, SQL, JavaScript, HTML) for banking, telecom, and insurance clients across full SDLC cycles; designed and optimized database procedures, triggers, and integration workflows.
- Delivered complex application releases ahead of schedule with zero major-defect rollbacks; recognized across business units for solving bottleneck workflows.
Associate Software Developer at Wipro (2010-06 – 2011-06)
- Supported enterprise application development and internal business-automation projects; assisted senior engineers on database design, backend development, and SQL reporting pipelines.
