Engineer. Educator. Enterprise Leader.
I started my career soldering circuits and programming microcontrollers. Today I lead enterprise technology programs for some of the world's most demanding clients. In between, I built industrial IoT systems on factory floors, trained over 3000 engineers in hands-on electronics, founded a robotics startup, created 14 online courses, and ran a YouTube channel teaching engineers how to build real systems.
I operate at a rare intersection — deep enough to understand technology from the chip level up, and experienced enough to lead it at enterprise scale.
Based in India. Building things that matter.
About Me
I'm a technology professional with 18+ years of experience across embedded systems engineering, Industrial IoT, enterprise architecture, and engineering education. But more than any title or domain, I'm someone who has always been drawn to one thing — understanding how complex systems work and making them useful for people.
My career has never followed a straight line. I've designed electronic circuits and built custom hardware for factory floors. I've trained over 3000 engineers in hands-on embedded systems and electronics. I've architected enterprise technology landscapes for Amazon and Meta. And today I lead a 70-person organization delivering and operating the TRIRIGA platform for Google's global real estate function.
What connects all of it is a simple instinct — I don't just manage technology, I understand it from the ground up.
When I'm not immersed in systems and architecture, I slow down in very different ways. You'll find me with a book in hand — drawn to fiction, philosophy, and spirituality. Exploring the quieter dimensions of life with the same curiosity I bring to engineering. And more than anything else, you'll find me simply being a father — present, playful, and grateful for it.
💼 Experience
My career has evolved from hands-on engineering and system design to leading large-scale enterprise platforms and delivery teams.
Here's the complete Experience section, leaner and more personal:
Program Director — JLL Google Account | TRIRIGA IWMS | 2025 – Present
Leading Google's Real Estate Services technology platforms across a 70-person organization. My deepest focus is a 14-person SRE team I built from scratch — a capability that didn't exist before my leadership, now owning platform reliability and operational health end-to-end on Google Cloud.
Current programs include Oracle PSU patch management, TRIRIGA platform upgrades, Db2 migration PoC, and MREF implementation. I also own resourcing, vendor contracts, Statements of Work, and financial governance across the full program.
Enterprise Architect — JLL Amazon & Meta Accounts | 2023 – 2025
Worked directly with senior CRE leadership at Amazon and Meta to build an enterprise architecture practice from scratch. Mapped complete CRE technology landscapes through Business Capability Models, identified portfolio gaps and overlaps, and delivered strategic technology roadmaps prioritizing automation and tech debt reduction.
BI Lead — JLL Amazon Account | APAC | 2022 – 2023
Built Amazon's APAC Business Intelligence team from zero — hiring developers, business analysts, and a project manager while serving as the primary client contact. Delivered 6 Tableau dashboards in a single year.
The most valuable work wasn't the dashboards — it was learning to refine what customers asked for into what they actually needed. This role led directly to the Enterprise Architect offer.
Industrial IoT Consultant — Devgiri Forgings 2020 – 2022
The most hands-on chapter of my career. I designed and built end-to-end Industrial IoT solutions inside a real factory — connecting CNC machines to edge servers, building a material tracking system with a custom C# UI, and developing a TensorFlow-based machine vision system for quality inspection.
Hardware involved custom microcontroller systems and Raspberry Pi deployments. Software spanned Embedded C, Python, C#, and machine learning — all running live on the shop floor.
Corporate Trainer — Edureka 2019 – 2021
Delivered live online training to a global audience across IoT, Python, Machine Learning, and Data Science. Maintained a learner rating above 9.5/10 throughout and was regularly called in to rescue batches where other instructors had struggled.
This ran in parallel with Devgiri Forgings — factory floors by day, teaching engineers globally by night.
Founder — Vidya Robotics Pvt Ltd 2016 – 2020
A product-focused fork of Vidya Technology Solutions. Built PlayMe — an educational robot designed to make robotics fun and accessible for students — alongside several DIY hardware learning kits.
The startup couldn't sustain itself financially and eventually shut down. It remains one of my most educational experiences — in the truest sense of the word. The PlayMe demo is on my LinkedIn if you're curious.
Founder — Vidya Technology Solutions 2010 – 2017
My first independent venture — an offline technical training center combined with industrial embedded systems consulting.
Trained over 3000 students in hands-on programs covering 8051, Arduino, ARM7, FreeRTOS, and Robotics. On the consulting side, I designed and deployed embedded systems solutions for industrial clients covering circuit design, PCB development, firmware, and wireless systems using Zigbee, RFID, and GSM.
This chapter built the foundation everything else stands on.
Programmer Analyst Trainee — Cognizant 2009 — 2 months
My first corporate role, straight out of campus. Left after 2 months — I was sitting in Java training while my mind was designing circuits. The pull toward hardware and building my own thing was too strong.
No regrets. It led directly to Vidya Technology Solutions and everything that followed.
Lecturer — Electronics Engineering 2008 – 2009
Three days after my engineering result I was standing in front of a classroom. My lab became a destination — students from mechanical, civil, and other branches lined up for project guidance alongside my own electronics students.
That led to being appointed Project Coordinator for the entire college at 22. This is where the teaching instinct and the builder instinct both came alive — and neither has switched off since.
