About

Engineering leader with 14+ years of experience architecting and scaling large distributed systems, high-availability backend platforms, and enterprise automation solutions. I’ve led cross-functional engineering teams in designing scalable microservices, event-driven architectures, real-time processing pipelines, and secure cloud-native platforms across BFSI, insurance, healthcare, Banking, new age Internet Companies and telecom. My focus includes building production-grade GenAI capabilities: LLM-powered voice automation, real-time STT → LLM → TTS pipelines, multi-LLM orchestration, and guard-railed intelligence layers integrated into enterprise workflows. I combine deep architectural thinking with practical engineering execution to ensure systems that are resilient, observable, compliant, and cost-optimised. I’ve overseen platforms handling 200M+ monthly interactions with strict SLAs, sub-second latency, and enterprise-grade reliability. Strong technical foundation in Java ecosystems, distributed systems design, telephony infrastructure, AWS/Azure cloud, API lifecycle management, data pipelines, and GPU-accelerated inference. As a Director-level leader, I define engineering strategy, drive architecture governance, build high-performance teams, and align technology with business outcomes. Known for elevating engineering culture, improving delivery velocity, and scaling platforms and people as organisations grow.

Director of Engineering

Promoted

Feb 2024 – Present · 2 yrs 4 mos

Led the end-to-end architecture of Ubona’s enterprise GenAI Voice Automation Platform, powering millions of monthly conversations across multiple banking, Government and insurance clients.
Engineered a sub-800ms real-time conversational stack combining VAD, streaming ASR, multi-LLM reasoning layers, policy & compliance frameworks, and neural TTS—delivering highly natural, production-grade voice automation at scale.
Built a multi-model orchestration layer integrating GPT-4o, GPT-4o-mini, LLaMA, and custom in-house LLMs with dynamic routing, persona conditioning, token-budget optimization, and automated fallback intelligence for high containment.
Designed a comprehensive BFSI-grade guardrail and safety framework, including intent-verification, toxic content prevention, hallucination suppression, fraud checks, on-call safety policies, and strict domain-rule enforcement.
Architected omnichannel GenAI journeys across Voice, WhatsApp, Web-IVR, and SMS with shared context, cross-channel memory, retry logic, and session stitching for seamless customer experience.
Drove cloud and infrastructure modernisation using AWS (EKS, RDS, ALB, Lambda, S3), Azure OpenAI, GPU inference clusters (A100/H100/G5), autoscaling, and cost-optimized compute models for high-volume deployments.
Established strong engineering governance, including architecture standards, sprint discipline, RCAs, SIT/UAT frameworks, production rollout playbooks, logging/observability best practices, and zero-downtime releases.

Nov 2015 – Jan 2024 · 8 yrs 2 mos

Designed and delivered production-grade GenAI voicebots across home loans, health insurance, motor claims, policy renewals, collections, onboarding, and producer/agent support : driving measurable improvements in containment, NPS, and operational throughput.
Built an advanced LLM-driven dialog management layer with multi-turn reasoning, contextual memory, behavioral grounding, dynamic tool calling, and strict policy-rule conditioning for high-accuracy, regulation-safe automation.
Developed highly specialized BFSI/insurance AI models for numeric reasoning, premium/benefit explanation, eligibility checks, KYC logic, appointment scheduling, and claim-intent classification, optimizing accuracy in real customer conversations.
Implemented ASR quality enhancers including custom Hindi + vernacular normalizers, numeric canonicalization, phonetic mapping, confidence-based fallback logic, and domain-trained correction rules to boost speech recognition reliability.
Modernized backend architecture by migrating legacy Oracle workflows to NoSQL, introducing event-driven microservices, and optimizing concurrency, throughput, and latency for high-volume voice workloads.
Partnered closely with enterprise stakeholders to translate complex business processes into AI-powered journeys : aligning product, engineering, compliance, and business teams to deliver scalable enterprise deployments.
