I'm an Appian Lead Developer (L3) with 5+ years of hands-on experience delivering enterprise BPM and Agentic AI solutions across multiple clients and domains. My journey started as an Appian Associate at WNS-Vuram in 2021, and I've grown into a Technical Lead role at Coforge, owning full delivery cycles and architecting multi-agent AI systems.

What drives me is the intersection of process intelligence and AI. I've worked on Appian continuously from version 21.x to 26.x, navigating every major platform evolution, from core BPM fundamentals to cutting-edge Agentic AI capabilities like RAG, LLM integration, and Human-in-the-Loop workflows.

Beyond the platform, I bring strong business acumen through my ongoing MBA in Technology Management at Alagappa University, bridging the gap between technical depth and strategic delivery.
