Fractional CTO & Advisory
Strategic roadmapping, organizational design, and technical leadership for AI initiatives and platform investments.
CTO & Applied AI Strategist
I help CEOs and CTOs deliver and de-risk AI initiatives, scale engineering, and turn ambiguous ideas into shipped software. Currently CTO at Jeavio (US–India).
How I work
Small bets, fast loops, and clear specs. I pair product sense with hands-on engineering to land outcomes, not demos.
- De-risk AI Projects: Guardrails, evals, observability
- Architect for Change: Simple, composable services
- Ship Rapidly: Measure, learn, iterate
Now:
Helping product and engineering teams turn AI concepts into reliable features in production.
Focus:
Architecture that bends without breaking, safety-by-default, and developer velocity.
Collaborations:
Limited availability for architecture reviews, roadmap critiques, and rapid prototyping.
What I do
AI Product Acceleration
Turn AI concepts into working products in weeks, not months. I handle the technical complexity while you focus on the business impact.
Rapid Product Ideation and Development
I work with clients to define their vision, determine key experiments, and help test and validate ideas through practical prototypes.

About
I lead at the intersection of product strategy and applied AI, with 20+ years across startups and global finance. I favor spec-first development, small iterative releases, and measurable outcomes. I'm currently focused on practical LLM use in production: retrieval, agent workflows, graph memory, and safety guardrails.
Community: building an AI developer ecosystem in Vadodara, mentoring PMs/POs, and giving talks on "thinking like an AI developer." Based in the Washington, DC area.
