Senior Director, AI Product Strategy & Adoption at NTT DATA in Toronto. Member, Forbes Technology Council.
I'm a product leader. My work is enterprise AI products and portfolios that move from pilots to real value: product strategy, roadmaps, lifecycle management, and adoption at scale. Before my current role, I led product for Nucleus, NTT DATA's enterprise applications portfolio supporting a $1.5B+ revenue stream and 150+ enterprise clients. This GitHub is where I build in public: real tools I use and ship, not tutorials.
Four small ventures I support, each run day to day by its own autonomous AI team:
- WorkSmartHQ, AI playbooks, agent blueprints, and tools for small business (worksmarthq.ca)
- VerdaFlux, backup-power sizing tools that help homeowners size portable power properly (verdaflux.com)
- ThermoVell, honest guidance on saunas and cold therapy for home use (thermovell.com)
- Vellwater, home water filtration guidance and sizing (vellwater.com)
- Malayalam for Kids, a speaking-first Malayalam app for diaspora kids, built with React Native and Expo. The app code is public; the lesson content ships only inside the app
- Follower Forest, every follower gets a tree: a single-file interactive forest world in HTML and JavaScript
- Robot Keychain Firmware, ESP32-S3 firmware for a tiny OLED keychain robot with an animated face
- Backup Power Sizing Calculator, size a portable power station for your home from your actual devices, runtimes, and surge watts
