- Lead client workshops, discovery sessions, and technical presentations to shape AI strategy and drive adoption.
- Execute the GenAI, LLM and ML strategy including people, technology, methodologies, platforms, and processes, while fostering a culture of technical excellence, innovation and continuous improvement.

- Experience leading and developing teams, including hiring, performance management, and career development.
- Strong expertise in Machine Learning and GenAI solutions including open source frameworks, RAG architectures, prompt engineering, LLM models (Claude, GPT, Gemini), and production deployment patterns.
