Consultant-Systems Engineer

I build things that connect the dots — between technology and truth, systems and people, curiosity and impact.

For more than 15 years, I led technology for a billion-dollar global enterprise, modernizing ERP, AI, and supply chains that fed millions of customers every day. It was equal parts engineering and empathy — translating business ambition into digital transformation that actually worked.

That experience taught me something important: technology isn’t powerful because it’s complex — it’s powerful because it’s real. Grounded. Useful. Human.

That belief drives everything I do now.

At VORTX.AI, I’m leading a team that’s redefining how AI learns from the world around it. We’re building the world’s first Grounded AI platform, combining satellite intelligence, geospatial data, and anti-spoofing systems to make AI more trustworthy — for industries that can’t afford to be wrong. From New York to Bengaluru, we’re building truth at planetary scale through partnerships with NVIDIA and Seraphim Space.

With AIRONCLAD Technology & Advisors, I help enterprises bring the promise of AI down to earth — with tools like SpendIQ for predictive cost optimization and ResearchIQ for personalized executive insight. And through CIOs for CIOs, I’ve helped create a global peer network where technology leaders share playbooks, not pitches.

I’ve always believed innovation should feel as natural as curiosity. That’s why I still code, prototype, and experiment — whether it’s training AI models, exploring the chemistry of food molecules, or mapping patterns between leadership, sport, and design.

Travel keeps me curious. Sports keep me honest. Food keeps me grounded.
Together, they remind me that creativity isn’t a discipline — it’s a habit.

The internet lies! 
Here’s an experiment: go to http://perplexity.in.

What do you see? Were you fooled?

When one of the largest and most trusted companies in the world—Google—can mislead you, it makes you wonder: Who else can you trust online?

In the age of AI, minimizing hallucinations and misinformation is more critical than ever. Always verify, question, and think critically.

Intuition - When not sure, “sloooow” things down. When this “sloooow” happens, athletes call it the “zone”. 

With practice great people, great players, great minds can almost turn this “in the zone” on and off on-demand. 

And that my friend is all about “practice”. 

How many reps did you take today?

A global force for good. “Shows where our world is today and how people need help…” - Mel

Thank you Mel & your team.

#1 NYT Best Selling Author of The Let Them Theory | Host of Award-Winning The Mel Robbins Podcast | CEO, 143 Studios | “Mel gives millions of people a reason to believe in themselves” - TIME

I need to tell you something absolutely unbelievable that happened today. Apple Podcasts released their 2025 charts... and The Mel Robbins Podcast walked away with:

#1 Most Followed Show on Apple in 2025
#1 Most Shared Episode of 2025 for our episode with Dr. Stacy Sims
Best of 2025 Editorial Award
#2 Most Shared Show in 2025
#3 Top Show of the Year in 2025

I’m insanely proud and blown away by each of these awards.

But let me be clear about what matters most:

It’s the shares.

Because you don’t share something unless it helped you or moved you or made your life better. That’s the real endorsement. That’s the vote of confidence. That’s what really blows me away.

As I told my team, the growth of this show happened one recommendation at a time.

And three years later, this amazing community of people who listen to the show exists because you keep showing up for yourself - to feel better, to think better, and to create a better life. Because you’re willing to do that work in your own life and then turn around and help someone else do the same. THAT is the coolest, most rewarding part of making this show.

One more thing: I get all the credit, but there’s a big team of hardworking people behind The Mel Robbins Podcast. Production, marketing, social media, press… They make all this possible.

Thank you for trusting me, for inviting me into your earbuds, your morning walks, your commutes, your messy moments, your breakthroughs, and your life.

This is our win.

And we’re just getting started.
