I build what matters.
I’ve spent the last two decades at the intersection of cloud computing, AI, and human potential; not to push technology for its own sake, but to shape systems that serve people with dignity and purpose.
Raised on values of service, curiosity, and faith, I carry a lifelong fascination with how seemingly small actions compound. Whether building platforms at AWS, leading AI initiatives at Microsoft and Redis, or mentoring young founders; I’ve always been drawn to the question: How can our ambitions and pursuits in life help us become more human, not less?
I lead AWS's Generative AI Innovation & Delivery at AWS, helping individuals and organizations unlock real-world value from emerging technologies like AI while keeping people and purpose at the center. We are a premier organization that forward deploys organizations into the era of cognitive abundance comprising of Generative and Agentic AI.
