Consulting & Advisory
Practical technical leadership for teams navigating the AI shift.
I help Indian IT teams and product companies make sound architecture and AI decisions — from someone who has shipped complex systems for two decades, not from the hype cycle.
Let's talk →How I can help
Three ways I work with teams. Most engagements are remote and scoped to a clear outcome — we figure out the right format on a call.
Fractional Architect / Tech Lead
Senior architecture and integration leadership, part-time. Ideal when you have a delivery team but need experienced technical direction without a full-time hire.
- •Architecture reviews and integration design (B2B eCommerce, .NET, multi-platform)
- •Untangling complex systems and reducing technical debt
- •Mentoring leads and raising the engineering bar
Technical Due Diligence
Independent assessment of architecture, codebase, integrations, or AI claims — for investors, founders, and acquirers who need a clear-eyed read before they commit.
- •Architecture and scalability assessment
- •Separating real AI capability from marketing
- •Risk, tech-debt, and team-capability findings in plain language
Pragmatic AI Adoption Advisory
Where AI actually fits in your product and workflow — and where it does not. Strategy grounded in shipping real systems, not hype.
- •Identifying high-value, low-risk AI use cases
- •Getting teams productive with Claude, Copilot, and Cursor
- •AI integration architecture (OpenAI, Claude, vision, RAG)
Who this is for
Indian IT services firms repositioning from billing hours to delivering AI-enabled products
Product companies that need senior architecture input without a full-time hire
Founders and investors who want an honest technical or AI due-diligence read
Engineering teams that want to adopt AI tooling without breaking quality or trust
