I'm an AI Governance professional with 19+ years of experience in technology — currently focused on AI software assurance, risk, governance, and compliance, with a specialisation in release readiness before production.
My work sits at the intersection of two questions most organisations haven't yet learned to ask together: Is this AI system compliant? and Is this AI system actually ready to ship? That release readiness lens — built over nearly two decades of software delivery — is what I bring to governance that most policy-first practitioners don't.
I am a certified AI Governance Professional, and hold an ISO 42001:2023 Lead Auditor credential, and a Responsible AI Practitioner certification from IIM Madras. I'm also a Udemy educator, where I teach AI governance and AIGP exam preparation to a global learner community.
Beyond my day job, I volunteer with AIKiran - a community working to make AI more inclusive and responsibly built.
In my free time, I read books and write poetry - that keeps me sane :)
