I’m a REAL person 😉, an engineer at heart—customer-centric, functionality-first, AI-native, and a design/systems thinker and author of e-book "The Adaptation Curve: Navigating Exponential Change from the Industrial Revolution to AI and Quantum" - you can read it here. In the past 19+ years, I’ve lead Product Management and Software Engineering functions—both full-time and as a consultant—across Fortune 500 companies such as The Walt Disney Company, Sony Pictures Entertainment, Warner Bros., Qualcomm, and TATA Consultancy Services, as well as scaling startup environments like Spherex and V2Solutions. My experience spans B2B, B2C, and developer ecosystems, reflecting a blend of large-scale corporate innovation and agile, entrepreneurial growth.

​

As a Product leader, I integrate deep technical expertise with strategic vision, focusing on solutions that push boundaries while meeting real user needs. I view AI not just as a tool but as a transformative force that can shape industries and elevate experiences. My approach blends user-centric design with robust engineering to deliver impactful, future-proof products.

• I hold 7 patents granted by USPTO in identification of context in a video, applying machine learning methods to age-classification, culture-distance prediction for video's travel-ability  and 2 pending applications in user-experience designs for video, reflecting my commitment to pushing the boundaries of AI and digital innovation.
   

• Complementing my professional experience, I’m expanding my expertise at Carnegie Mellon University’s Integrated Innovation Institute, studying product design, innovation frameworks, and management for the evolving AI landscape that is impacting the physical and digital worlds. In addition, I hold master's degrees in Business Administration (Pepperdine University, Malibu/Los Angeles) and Computer Applications as well as a bachelor's in Science, Statistics - (Gujarat University, India).
   

• My current focus includes crafting/leading human-machine interactive designs to meet forward-looking product/service experiences and as an individual contributor work on the deployment + fine-tuning of large language models / generative AI systems, and exploring agentic workflows. I would love to connect with forward-thinking professionals while exploring new ways to harness AI for meaningful impact—let’s connect and build the future together!​
