Pegasus Logistics Group

I was responsible for the transformation of an existing IT department into an enterprise class service organization.  This included implementation of company wide processes, procedures, tools and training to align with industry best practice and allow for rapid company scaling.  I created a Program Management Office to facilitate both long term strategic initiatives and the successful tactical execution of immediate projects.  I instituted a balanced scorecard strategy and process.

FedEx Supply Chain

I held positions of progressive responsibility at FedEx Supply Chain (previously ATCLE and GENCO). I was the IT Manager overseeing the development and sustainment departments before I assumed responsibility in December of 2010 for all strategic initiatives for IT.  In this role I partnered with all department heads as well as senior management to identify and clarify a business’s development needs and objectives.  I led the design, development and implementation of innovative solutions to enhance service, increase customer satisfaction, improve operations and reduce cost.  These responsibilities included identifying enterprise-wide issues, quantifying impacts, developing improvement strategies, implementing integrated solutions, managing transformation and delivering results to executives.

Supply Chain Consultant

Bacou-Dalloz

At Bacou-Dalloz (now Honeywell) I provided technical guidance and direction during the build out of a new centralized distribution facility.  This included oversight of the facilities technical infrastructure and the implementation of the warehouse management system.  I was responsible for the technical strategy and the day to day operations of the IT department in the facility.

IT Operations Manager

While at EDS, I held numerous positions of increasing responsibility.  First hired as a temporary floor worker in the distribution center I also held the positions of line operator, shift lead and eventually business analyst.

Innovation, Technology, Product and Life is what I am all about. Passionate about building web applications that leverage the power of cloud computing, cognitive computing, and Generative AI, I am dedicated to transforming innovative ideas into solutions with global impact. 

As an intrapreneur and innovator known for the ability to rapidly ideate, design, and build ideas into viable MVPs in the cloud, primarily Azure and Google Cloud.

Specialize in guiding projects from inception to completion, with expertise in design thinking, web development, product management, prompt engineering, and Generative AI, (Azure OpenAI and Google's Gemini) and Langchian 

Founded Startup@Kyndryl, a platform designed to foster intrapreneurship within Kyndryl by promoting an entrepreneurial mindset and cultivating a culture akin to that of startups.

Currently leading the development of Kuberhub, an innovative Generative AI tool aimed at simplifying Kubernetes administration through YAML code generation (Build on Azure using Azure OpenAI and Python flask as front end) 

This project is a collaborative effort under the Kyndryl Research and Microsoft Joint Innovation Lab.

The no-code version of Kuberhub is available for exploration at [http://kuberhub.in].

Additionally, we developed CalmMyKids.in, a Generative AI application designed to assist parents of special needs children in managing their care more effectively. This application can be explored at [http://calmmykids.in].

My professional journey began with a leadership role in the Advanced Skill Development Program for WebSphere Application Server and Hybrid Cloud across India, where I mentored over 150 professionals, marking a significant milestone in my career development.

My entrepreneurial journey commenced in an IBM internal incubator, leading to the creation of "Watson Incarnation"—a venture inspired by visionary figures to simulate profound conversations. This initiative led to the development of the Watson Account Manager, a bot-driven solution on IBM Cloud, which earned an Innovation Marathon award.

Further innovations include developing Mother's Eye, software leveraging video analytics to swiftly locate missing children, and an award-winning SSL certificate management system enriched with cognitive features. The School of WebSphere, which started as a free educational initiative, evolved into a consulting service for IBM's principal clients, including leading banks and railways.

I am eager to continue developing solutions that have a meaningful and lasting impact.
