About Me

 I am a Technology and Business Consultant with a strong record in Artificial Intelligence, Software Engineering, Project Management, Business Strategy, Business Analysis, and Digital Marketing. My expertise is unique and rare, combining AI, Project Management, and Digital Marketing to deliver innovative, results-driven solutions.

I work closely with businesses to conduct a thorough analysis through Business Process Re-engineering and reduce operational costs by 50–60% by implementing modern AI technologies under a model known as Business Process Automation using AI.

My career blends deep academic knowledge with hands-on experience, allowing me to bridge the gap between technology, business, and sustainable market growth. I hold a Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Mathematics, and Statistics, and a Master’s degree in Information Technology. This academic foundation enables me to design and implement AI-driven business solutions and digital transformation strategies that deliver measurable impact.

“Linear algebra is the language of modern data and computation. Vectors and matrices are the foundation of AI, machine learning, search engines, image compression, and data analysis.”
