Two decades in tech.
Now I work in Animal Intelligence.
For over two decades I've worked across tech startups, enterprises, products, and partnerships, close to several major shifts in the industry, mobile, social, and now AI, usually from the inside.
I enjoy building things that matter, from the ground up, figuring it out as I go. Right now that means HeartDogs, India's first assistance and therapy dog programme, training rescued street dogs through women in rural India and placing them with families who need them.
