I am an Enterprise Architect with two decades of experience designing large-scale integration, automation and cloud platforms. At IBM and Amdocs I led architecture for telecom, financial-services and enterprise customers across North America, Europe and Asia — work that lived or died on getting the software stack right.
I studied at IIT Bombay and Carnegie Mellon University, and I still evaluate software the way I was trained to: define the requirements first, test against real workloads, and model total cost of ownership before anyone signs a contract.
optimization.systems is where I publish that analysis in the open, so operators, CTOs and finance leaders can make faster, better-informed software decisions.
