As a Technical Lead and Manager at Cisco, I lead AI, Sustaining, Operations, Automation, and SDET teams, managing over 10 engineers to drive automation and AI/ML initiatives across key platforms such as XDR Automate, SecureX Orchestrator, and Cisco Cloud Center Suite. I have a strong background in developing cloud technologies including AWS and Kubernetes, delivering AI-based projects from proof of concept through production rollout, and building automation frameworks. I also enjoy mentoring junior engineers and continuously enhancing team efficiency and innovation. Outside of work, I enjoy reading, music, hiking, and volunteering.
