I'm a Program Lead at vivo India shipping mobile OS, IoT, and AI features across complex matrixed environments. Comfortable in jira, comfortable in python — I move fluidly between roadmaps and the technical detail engineering teams actually need to ship.

My current work spans Generative AI integration into Funtouch OS, OTA lifecycle management, 4G/5G network validation, and chipset-level security patching — the kind of work that requires both program rigor and technical fluency.

Backed by an MCA in AI/ML, MBA, PMP®, CSPO®, and HSK-3 Chinese — useful for cross-border collaboration with global R&D teams.

The toolkit I bring to programs.

Four overlapping competencies — program orchestration, product strategy, hands-on technical depth in mobile/IoT, and applied AI. Tools and methods I use day-to-day below.
