01 / About
A career built at the intersection
of technology and people.
I have spent more than two decades in IT, growing through software engineering, technical project management and delivery leadership. Today my work involves building capable teams, helping clients solve problems and improving how technology initiatives are planned, governed and delivered.
My interests span engineering excellence, responsible use of AI in everyday delivery, customer relationships, mentoring and practical approaches to organizational improvement.
Beyond work, writing has become another meaningful part of my journey — from professional insights to books and Tamil poetry.
