About Abhishek Sharma
Engineering executive with 25 years leading global teams that build, scale, and govern carrier-grade technology platforms. Currently a direct report to the CTO at Aeris — the world\'s leading independent IoT SaaS platform — where I lead engineering quality, delivery governance, and program execution across a platform managing 104 million connected devices, 42 million connected vehicles, and 1.4 billion messages per day.My career spans the full arc of wireless and connected technology — from developing patented packet data systems at 3Com and UTStarcom deployed at Verizon, Sprint, and KDDI, to leading product engineering for millions of connected devices at embedUR, to architecting AI-powered 5G intelligent management systems on Azure at Pivotal Commware, to now driving GenAI-powered engineering transformation across quality, release management, and delivery operations at global IoT scale.I build organizations as much as I build platforms — establishing the quality, delivery, and execution infrastructure that lets complex technology scale without breaking.Named inventor on five US patents in wireless networking and packet data systems — areas at the center of where IoT, 5G, and AI infrastructure are heading.What drives me: operating at the intersection of engineering excellence and business impact — building the teams, systems, and execution discipline that let complex technology platforms scale reliably and fast.
