18 years across cloud, infrastructure and AI — including global enablement leadership at Alibaba Cloud and AWS. Now I build AI-powered companies and turn traditional businesses into modern ones. Not in demos. In production.
My focus is unglamorous and extremely effective: finding where AI genuinely moves the needle in a real business — customer conversations, operations, acquisition decisions — and putting it to work there. Deep expertise in the stack, the strategy, and the implementation. Not for marketing. For margin.
I've spent 18 years earning the right to know the difference — on networks, in enterprise support rooms, on global enablement stages, and now in my own companies where the P&L is mine to win or lose.
A home salon & spa where a WhatsApp AI agent handles the vast majority of customer conversations around the clock, a custom-built ops platform runs bookings and payments, and every process generates data. Living proof that a "traditional" business can be an AI company.
nineandshine.aeWe acquire established Canadian businesses that most technologists overlook — and transform them through technology while preserving what already makes them valuable. The same philosophy, at acquisition scale: legacy in, intelligence added.
maplemergergroup.comTransformation begins before the acquisition. HypeCrew turns business listings, buyer documents and public signals into a clear verdict — proceed, pass, or investigate further. Canada-first AI acquisition intelligence. Because AI doesn't just help operate a business. It can help choose it.
hypecrew.aiA short introduction — presented by my AI avatar, because of course it was.
Three continents. Every layer of the stack. From the cables up to the boardroom.
Led cloud and AI adoption strategy across META and APAC. Architected a global AI enablement framework adopted by 50+ solution architects, and designed training programs on LLMs, Generative AI and cloud-native AI deployed by enterprise partners across North America and APAC.
Enabled AWS partners and internal teams worldwide to build on SageMaker, Bedrock and Rekognition. Designed Generative AI and ML curriculum, and led Train-the-Trainer programs across the global Authorized Training Center network.
Advanced troubleshooting for enterprise virtualization at scale — vSphere, NSX, vSAN — partnering with R&D and global teams on high-priority customer engagements and escalations.
Started on the cables — running WAN aggregation for 110+ Bank of India branches. Then government IT consulting on a TCS-led national project, enterprise support for US clients, and years delivering advanced VMware training to enterprises across the globe.
Exploring what AI can actually do for your business — or you're an operator who wants to modernize without the hype? I'd love to talk.
