About Me
Engineering the future where semiconductor expertise meets AI.
With 20+ years in the semiconductor industry, I've built a career helping customers navigate complex design challenges across Cloud, Communications, and Aerospace & Defense markets. My passion lies in transforming deep technical knowledge into solutions that drive measurable business and customer impact.
At Analog Devices, I lead initiatives that turn field and customer engineering insights into agentic AI platforms, enabling faster problem-solving, smarter design decisions, and scalable expert support. My focus includes AI agents, RAG systems, knowledge intelligence, and production AI evaluation frameworks.
I bring together technical expertise, business acumen, and strategic leadership, backed by an MSEE, MBA, a Post-Graduate AI Certificate, 20 published technical papers, and ongoing doctoral studies in Business Administration.
Transforming engineering expertise into AI-powered intelligence that scales.
