CTO building AI-powered products at global scale. Two decades of engineering leadership across Microsoft, Walmart, and high-growth startups — now shaping the future of intelligent entertainment.
I'm a technology executive with 20+ years of experience building and scaling software products — from early-stage startups to Fortune 1 enterprises. My career spans the full arc from writing code for SlideShare (acquired by LinkedIn) to leading architecture at Microsoft and Walmart, to now serving as CTO at Mythik, an AI-powered global entertainment company.
Today, I focus on the intersection of AI/GenAI and product strategy — building intelligent systems that don't just work at scale, but create entirely new categories of user experience. I'm also an active mentor, investor, and the author of three published technical books.
A two-decade journey across startups, consulting giants, and the world's largest enterprises.
Deep technical depth paired with executive-level product and business thinking.
From LLM integration to multimodal AI systems, building intelligent products that move beyond pilots to production at scale.
Designing distributed, resilient systems on AWS and Azure. Microservices, event-driven architectures, and API platforms at Fortune 1 scale.
API gateways, lifecycle management, developer platforms — building the infrastructure that accelerates entire engineering organizations.
Scaling teams from zero to 50+. Hiring, mentoring, and building high-performance engineering cultures across geographies.
Translating business objectives into technical strategy. Bridging the gap between what the market needs and what engineering delivers.
Large-scale distributed systems, data-intensive applications, performance optimization, and security-first architecture design.
Perspectives on AI strategy, engineering leadership, and building products that matter.
LLMs taught machines to read and write. But the real world is not made of text alone — exploring how multimodal systems see, hear, and reason.
For decades, software has followed instructions. What happens when it starts making decisions on its own?
A pattern that repeats itself far too often — and what leaders can do differently to bridge the gap from pilot to production.
Three technical books on Java, microservices, and cloud-native application design.
Beyond building products, I actively invest in and mentor early-stage startups navigating the complexities of technology at scale. As a core mentor and investor at BizTantu, I help founders make the right architectural and strategic decisions early.
I'm always open to conversations with founders, aspiring CTOs, and engineering leaders looking for perspective on scaling technology organizations.
Technology strategy, architecture reviews, and scaling guidance for early-stage companies.
Mentoring engineering managers and architects transitioning into senior leadership roles.
Helping organizations navigate AI strategy — from proof of concept to production deployment.
Open to conversations about technology leadership, AI strategy, advisory roles, and ambitious product challenges.
