I don't prompt AI. I build the systems that do.

Fourteen years across banking, oncology, automotive and retail. I design AI agents, build the analytics underneath them, and take both through governance into production.

03 · About

The short version.

I started in 2011, writing Oracle banking systems in India. Since then: oncology analytics, automotive data architecture, and now AI systems for a global retailer, from Stockholm.

Most people specialise in one layer. I have worked all of them. I have written the PL/SQL, built the warehouse, made the dashboard, shipped the agent, and done the risk classification that let it launch. That is one consultant covering what usually takes a build team plus a compliance team.

I sit in Customer Trust & Compliance at H&M Group, where I also facilitate the AI Academy and run the Collective Intelligence Hub. Outside that I build in public: 80+ repositories, live tools, writing. Mostly in the hours after a toddler's bedtime.

Based in Stockholm, originally from Nashik. Open to consulting, speaking and workshops.
