Experience

1. Program Manager - Technical to Google

   Tata Consultancy Services

   Mar 2024 — Present · Austin, TX, US

   Lead the strategic expansion of Google Cloud’s ecosystem by architecting comprehensive cloud migration and modernization frameworks that align Compute Engine (GCE), Google Kubernetes Engine (GKE), and Cloud AI solutions with high-value AMD technologies. I design the long-term growth roadmap for platform consumption, focusing on a joint \"Go-to-Market\" pipeline that integrates AMD with core GCP infrastructure to capture untapped market segments.By orchestrating the transition of legacy workloads into high-performance, AI-ready environments, I bridge the gap between traditional VM infrastructure and modern, containerized, and intelligence-driven architectures. I synthesize complex customer feedback and migration outcomes into high-impact case studies, providing the product organization with critical market signals to refine our TCO optimization, value proposition, and enterprise-scale Compute and AI requirements.
