Working at the intersection of innovation, technology, and enterprise development, currently with Enterprise Ireland, Ireland’s government agency for supporting business growth and international expansion. With a career spanning consulting, R&D incentives, and applied research, I’ve helped medium-to-large multinationals in the ICT and technology sectors unlock funding, scale innovation, and accelerate global competitiveness. Previously, I held roles with Deloitte (Global Investment & Innovation Incentives – Gi3) and KPMG (R&D Tax Advisory), where I advised some of the world’s leading tech companies on maximizing their R&D potential. My background bridges industry, consulting, and research. I’ve worked as a Software Research Engineer at the Walton Institute (formerly TSSG-WIT), a Datawarehouse Specialist at Syncreon, and began my career in software engineering with Zensar Technologies (CISCO Development Centre). Along the way, I’ve contributed to EU-funded projects (H2020, FP7, Interreg), supported industry–academia collaborations, and mentored startups and innovation-driven initiatives. I hold an M.Sc. in Computing from Waterford Institute of Technology and a Bachelor’s in Electronics & Telecom Engineering from India, with certifications in Business Analysis, UX/HCI, Information Security, and Gamification. Passionate about technology, policy, and enterprise growth, I’ve also mentored at SOAS, University of London in Global Diplomacy and supported startup ecosystem events across Ireland.
