About

Cloud & AI Architect at the Frontier

Databricks
Amazon Web Services
Tata Consultancy Services

I am a Solution Architect for Data & AI at Databricks, the world-leading Data and AI platform company. Before Databricks, I spent seven years at Amazon Web Services as a Senior Solutions Architect, where I worked with Fortune 500 enterprises across the cruise, financial services, and telecommunications industries.

My career has been centered on one challenge: making AI and cloud architecture work in production at enterprise scale. Not proof-of-concepts. Not demos. Real systems with measurable business outcomes.

The work I am most proud of is the Amazon Aurora Limitless launch at AWS re:Invent 2023, where I led a global team of 80+ engineers and solutions architects to bring one of Amazon's highest-priority strategic products to market. I also architected some of the earliest enterprise Generative AI production systems using Amazon Bedrock and Claude, years before GenAI became mainstream.

Based in Miami, FL. Originally from India.

Defining Achievement

Amazon Aurora Limitless — re:Invent 2023

As Senior Technical Program Manager, I led a cross-functional global team of 80+ engineers, solutions architects, and technical staff to bring Amazon Aurora Limitless to market, announced at AWS re:Invent 2023. Aurora Limitless was designated a top 4 S-Team goal for all of Amazon in 2023 — one of only four strategic priorities elevated to Amazon's executive leadership team across the entire company that year. My role spanned UX design review, end-to-end quality automation, building the pre-launch test framework, and running execution reviews with AWS senior VPs to secure resources and leadership alignment.
