Lead Software Engineer building AI-native systems for engineering, data, and the physical world.
18+ years delivering secure AI platforms, PLM modernization, and physical-world automation across global hardware ecosystems.
Current Focus
AI-native diagnostics and repair workflows that connect real-world signals with engineering intelligence.
Thoughts are my own. If you find reach out to me. If not definitely reachout to me.
EMCs, SMT, and the operating system of the physical world. A deep dive into where manufacturing value is shifting and why India can compete on systems, not just price.
Why intelligence without agency stalls, and how robots close the loop from sensing to action across factories, repair, and the physical world.
Why repair and manufacturing will converge, and why the home repair robot suddenly makes sense.
PDM stores files and enforces control, but engineers need reasoning, context, and change clarity. This is the gap.
Why flattening BOMs breaks reasoning, and how graph structure unlocks impact analysis, variants, and feedback loops.
Why AI must live inside the product graph to reason about intent, impact, and tradeoffs - not just summarize files.
It is about letting go of control so systems can learn, share context, and reason in real time.
The projects all my own in perosnal interest and time. If it changes the world thats not my problem.

If you are not impressed, help me impress next person.
Build systems that scale trust, not just throughput. Every architecture should make the next decision easier, safer, and more transparent.
Start from user risk, trace constraints, then design the smallest credible system that can evolve into the platform we actually need.
Hands-on technical guidance paired with clear ownership. Create alignment through shared mental models, not status updates.
High-signal highlights and career arc.
Senior AI and software engineering leader with 18+ years of experience delivering secure, production-grade platforms. Leading AI transformation at Apple across agentic LLM systems, RAG architectures, hardware engineering workflows, and manufacturing optimization.
