01About

Technical depth, business exposure, and an operator’s view of how work gets done

After earning my Bachelor's degree in Computer Science & Engineering from the University of California, Davis, I returned to India to work in an industrial business. That gave me a chance to operate at the intersection of technology and business, building solutions while working directly with customers, engineers, and business leaders on real operational challenges.

At Abhitech Energycon, I developed ERP and analytics solutions, led cross-functional projects, and helped drive AI and machine learning initiatives focused on manufacturing optimization and operational efficiency. I created an automated analytics platform that transformed product reporting and customer analysis, reducing manual effort while improving decision-making. I also led work on sustainability, industrial AI, and process improvement, including presenting SmartCoke at the World Congress on Engineering Asset Management (WCEAM 2024).

What differentiates my experience is the combination of technical expertise and business exposure. Having worked in an owner-operated business environment, I have firsthand insight into how strategic decisions are made, how teams are managed, and how technology investments create measurable business value.

I am building on that foundation through a dual-degree MBA and M.S. in Business Analytics and Artificial Intelligence at The University of Texas at Dallas, combining business strategy, analytics, and AI to solve complex business challenges and drive digital transformation.

Actively seeking internships in consulting, technology strategy, business analytics, product management, and digital transformation.
