About

I'm an analytics and AI platform leader with 8+ years of experience driving data strategy, platform architecture, and operational analytics across global teams (NA, Canada, EU, India). I'm currently the designated Lead AI Strategist at Amazon's Relay Operations Center, where I architected and shipped ROC.ai — a production-grade conversational AI analytics platform on Amazon Bedrock leveraging RAG, agentic AI, and serverless AWS architecture. Over the years, I've led interim analytics teams, owned $1B+ in entitlement validation and cost-optimization planning across annual OP1 / OP2 cycles, and translated complex data into executive-ready insights for L6 – L8 (Director-level) leadership. I care about building systems that make data genuinely useful — not just reportable — and about turning operational complexity into something people can act on quickly.

      Business Analyst III (L6) at Amazon's Relay Operations Center (ROC) Tech — designated Lead AI Strategist, leading the AI roadmap and platform build for ROC operations across NA, Canada, EU, India, and Japan. Previously served as Interim Analytics Manager (2024) for the team while maintaining IC workload.

Focus areas: Generative AI on Amazon Bedrock (Agents, Knowledge Bases, RAG, agentic AI, Text-to-SQL), AWS serverless architecture (Lambda, Redshift, S3, API Gateway), Python, SQL, predictive modeling, workforce capacity planning, and stakeholder enablement.
