Upcoming: I'm speaking at a PMI San Francisco Bay Area session on how PMs can move beyond execution to become strategic technology leaders in the AI era. Friday, July 24, 5:30-6:30 PM PDT, via Zoom.
Highlights
CTO Sync featured my approach to winning stakeholder support for technical debt paydown: weighing blast radius, exposing consequences to leadership, and reserving a fixed slice of every cycle for paydown.
Highlights
Invited speaker at CloudX 2026 (Santa Clara, Sept 1-3), co-located with API World + AI TechWorld. Speaking on how to forecast hardware capacity for AI infrastructure at billion-user scale.
TPM Knowledge
How a technical program manager actually runs a large program, from the first funding conversation to the hundredth status update.
Highlights
Mashable profiled my work leading AI infrastructure at billion-user scale: lifting model deployment success from 60% to 99%, cutting scale-up time from three days to two hours, and a GPU efficiency redesign worth an estimated $20M in savings.
Highlights
Invited speaker at the Kong API + AI Summit 2026 in Los Angeles (Sep 30 – Oct 1). A practitioner session on the operational realities of running large-scale AI inference: deployment coordination, GPU and infrastructure constraints, performance tuning, and reliability under rapid model iteration.
TPM Knowledge
Every technical program manager eventually runs into the same uncomfortable fact: you are accountable for outcomes you cannot command. The engineers do not report to you. The architects do not need your sign-off. The executive who set the deadline will not write a line of the code that meets

Every database we've met so far stores facts: a user's name, an order's total, a sensor's reading, a word in a document. The newest member of the family stores something stranger and more powerful: meaning itself. Vector databases are the data system
For years, the question “TPM vs PM vs EM” quietly stressed me out. Not in a theoretical way, but in a very real “I have no idea what I actually want to be” way. Not because I was overthinking titles, but because my early career created a lot of mixed
AI infrastructure, system design, and engineering execution at production scale.
Upcoming: I'm speaking at AI Infra Summit 2026 (Santa Clara, Sept 15-17) on what it takes to run AI infrastructure at billion-user scale.
I'm serving as Session Chair at the Sixth IEEE International Conference on Intelligent Technologies (CONIT 2026) in Hubballi, India, on June 20, 2026.
My paper on a replica-centric capacity-planning framework for GPU and Multi-Instance GPU (MIG) based AI inference platforms was accepted at IEEE MetroInd 4.0 & IoT 2026 in Rome, Italy.
I spoke at the Budapest Data + AI Forum 2026 on why ML deployments fail in production and how to engineer reliability at scale. Session abstract, key takeaways, and links.
I recently sat down with Business Standard for their Manager's Mantra series (BSmart). What started as a conversation about automation and managerial roles turned into a wide-ranging discussion: enterprise cloud strategy, the economics of AI infrastructure, how to build data platforms people actually use, modernizing legacy systems,
I presented our paper "Operationalizing Site Reliability in Large-Scale Distributed Systems: Shifting Ownership Left" at IEEE CSNT 2026 (Al-Khobar, Saudi Arabia): predictive models that forecast failures to keep large-scale distributed systems reliable.
OneIndia profiled my work on AI model deployment: cutting deploy times from days to hours, lifting success rates from roughly 60% to nearly 99%, and serving about 4x more requests per GPU.
I joined a Zee Business India 360° panel (Feb 2026) on AI hallucinations: why models confidently make things up, how to verify their output, practical prompt techniques, and where AI regulation stands across the EU, US, and India.

There's a kind of data that has quietly exploded in volume over the last decade, and you generate it constantly without thinking. Every time a server reports its CPU usage, every time an app records how long a request took, every time a thermostat notes the temperature, every
Type a few words into a search box and, in a fraction of a second, you get back the most relevant results out of millions or billions of documents, ranked best-first, with your typos forgiven and suggestions appearing as you type. We're so used to this that
Every database we've covered so far has one job: running an application. They store orders as they're placed, serve profiles as they're viewed, accept writes as they happen. This is the live, operational heartbeat of a product, and it's called OLTP, online
