About

I am passionate about solving large impossible problems that require disruptive thinking and solutions. Commerce experiences have largely been the same for the last decade. My primary focus is on building the foundations for an open agentic ecosystem for commerce that will help define how next generation of agentic consumer experiences will be built. Some of my recent efforts include: UCP - an open source protocol that provides a shared language between Consumers, Agents and Businesses - Read more: https://developers.googleblog.com/under-the-hood-universal-commerce-protocol-ucp/ Business Agent - virtual associate for businesses to represent their unique brand’s voice on Google and connect with customers at critical shopping moments to help drive sales. In the past, I have built systems for enhancing one of the worlds most comprehensive shopping graph at Google with generative AI tools, scaling data ingestion from third-party platforms like Shopify, and iterating on multiple commerce architectures to build transactional experiences for users on Google.
