Founder at Milago.ai · VP, Product Engineering at Mantrika.ai
Sixteen years taking AI products from zero to production — and building the engineering teams that ship them. Enterprise transformation to founder.
I've spent 16 years across the full arc of building technology — enterprise transformation, AI consulting, product engineering leadership, and finally founding my own AI products from the ground up.
Today I run Milago.ai, an AI meeting-intelligence SaaS I took from zero to a production platform across web, mobile and developer tools. In parallel, as VP of Product Engineering at Mantrika.ai, I led a team of five to ship an end-to-end AI recruitment platform.
Before that, I directed AI consulting engagements at Xarpie Labs across construction, biomedical and enterprise clients — owning problem discovery, solution design, and commercial delivery end to end.
Built from zero to a production SaaS. Auto-joins meetings across Zoom, Google Meet and Teams, then transforms conversations into structured tasks, knowledge bases and actionable insight — eliminating manual note-taking entirely.
milago.aiLed a 5-engineer team to ship an end-to-end AI recruitment platform that processed 8,000+ resumes, with ~40% of AI-flagged fits advancing to later interview rounds. Defined the technical vision, model choices and scoring algorithms.
mantrika.aiDirected AI engagements end-to-end across construction, biomedical and enterprise clients — translating ambiguous business problems into production-ready AI with clear commercial models. Delivered a predictive bid-intelligence system and an AI biomedical research assistant.
Led transformation programs across service lines — driving a 15% lift in project efficiency through automation, building executive dashboards that improved data visibility by 30%, and deploying a resource-scheduling tool across a workforce of ~5,000 employees.
Built and led the test-automation practice from the ground up — an automation framework and 250+ scripts that eliminated two days of manual regression testing every sprint, and established CI/CD-integrated testing as the standard across the project.
Founded and launched Milago.ai, an AI meeting-intelligence SaaS — owning product strategy, business model, architecture and production rollout across web, mobile and developer platforms.
Led a 5-engineer team to ship an end-to-end AI recruitment platform — JD-resume matching, an autonomous AI avatar interviewer, real-time human-interview assistance and an automated offer workflow.
Directed AI consulting engagements end-to-end — predictive bid intelligence for construction, an AI research assistant for a biomedical team — owning scoping, pricing, delivery and client relationships.
Led transformation initiatives across service lines — 15% efficiency gains, executive dashboards (+30% data visibility), duplicate-project consolidation (−20% overhead) and cross-functional regulatory coordination.
Deployed a resource-scheduling tool across regions for ~5,000 employees, owned the Entrepreneurship Program end-to-end, and championed automation & GenAI upskilling.
Built and led the test-automation practice — a framework and 250+ scripts that eliminated two days of manual regression per sprint — and drove the shift to automated CI/CD testing.
