About
I architect systems and stay in the code. Over 14+ years I've delivered enterprise web platforms across government, banking, and retail eCommerce — currently working on B2B commerce on Optimizely Configured Commerce and an internal generative-AI product visualization platform that replaced physical sample photography, cutting turnaround from around three weeks to three days. Before that I led architecture on a Saudi Vision 2030 government investment platform with a team of 8–12 engineers, building an AI-powered search engine on Azure OpenAI with RAG that improved relevance scores by 40%. My background spans regulated delivery for Lloyds Banking Group and AXA UK, and public-sector systems for Sharjah Police. I work across solution architecture, microservices, micro-frontends, and applied AI — RAG pipelines, multimodal generation, and prompt engineering — while mentoring engineers and keeping quality gates and observability in place.

B2B Commerce Platform (Retail / Apparel)
Trivandrum, Kerala
B2B commerce engineering on Optimizely Configured Commerce for a retail apparel client, working across the core platform codebase and a separate region-specific storefront. Migrated a DAM (digital asset management) integration from proof-of-concept to production, then extended it — replacing per-product-ID lookups with automated product-image discovery and preprocessing across a catalogue of approximately 900,000 products.

AI Product Visualization Platform
Trivandrum, Kerala
Internal generative-AI platform converting product tech packs into photorealistic product renders, replacing physical sample photography for pre-production review — cutting end-to-end turnaround from approximately three weeks to three days. Designed the multi-stage generation pipeline: PDF rasterization, OCR-grade document analysis, automated extraction of product specifications, and prompt-driven generation across seven camera angles. Built an automated quality-audit loop that re-submits each render to the model for verification against the source tech pack, and engineered batch production with human-in-the-loop spec review and session recovery. - C
