Teaching experience
Beside my engineering and leadership experience, I am a speaker across various internationatinal conferences, pannels and author. Also I worked as lecturer in India after my masters for 2 years, teching engineering mathematics for undergraduates.
Interests & speaking style
My interests include Artificial Intelligence, Generative AI, Agentic AI, AI Engineering, Machine Learning, Cloud Computing, Platform Engineering, Distributed Systems, and Site Reliability Engineering (SRE). I bring over 20 years of industry experience building and leading large-scale engineering organizations and platforms across healthcare, financial services, and technology. My teaching philosophy is grounded in connecting theoretical foundations with practical, real-world applications. My lecturing style is interactive, practical, and discussion-oriented. I focus on explaining complex concepts through relatable examples, industry case studies, architecture discussions, hands-on exercises, and problem-solving. I encourage critical thinking, curiosity, and experimentation, helping students understand not only how technologies work, but also how to apply them responsibly and effectively in real-world environments. I am particularly interested in mentoring students and preparing the next generation of engineers and technology leaders for the evolving AI-driven world.
