   AI Transformation Lead: Turning AI from experiments into everyday leverage across people, process and product. Scaled the adoption of spec driven agentic agile development using Antigravity and Co-pilot across the organization for accelerated development, increasing velocity and reducing engineering cost by multiple folds. Showcased the implementation of a complex Yugabyte backup/recovery automation in Python using Antigravity in 4-6 weeks, saving millions in licensing cost of the equivalent managed solution. Building an Agentic AI platform with slack, confluence/JIRA, and Grafana integration for the customer success team to self resolve production issues faster. Tech stack includes multi-agent systems using Java/Spring Boot, LangGraph, Qdrant/RAG, LLM, Redis, Airflow.2. Data Fabric Platform: Spearheaded the transformation of a monolithic platform into a distributed scale-out architecture, enabling processing of 100 million vulnerabilities across 10 million assets. Led a cross-functional 11-person engineering team with coaching and mentoring, enhancing the culture. Executed the migration from Neo4j to Yugabyte and DuckDB to BigQuery, in 9 months (on-time), achieving a 50% performance improvement and a 97% of feature parity. Transformed the legacy Ops infrastructure to a modern cloud-native, self-service deployment model using GCP (VPC, GKE Autopilot, Load Balancer, Cloud Armor, DNS) and established a GitOps (ArgoCD) based continuous delivery pipeline. Enabled immediate business expansion by onboarding 10 new customers in the first month and driving the migration of hundreds of existing accounts to the new platform by Q1FY26. Instituted an OKR-based engineering strategy for performance, scale, and release hardening to drive predictable, high-quality production deployments. Defined the OpEx budget and cost model for the new platform, collaborating with Google to ensure adherence to operational best practices and architectural alignment.
