Senior Project Manager } AI & GenAI | PMO Evaluation | Hackathon Judge & Mentor

📍 Chennai, India

I am a senior project and program management professional with 16+ years of experience across technology governance, enterprise systems, audits, and innovation-led initiatives. My work centers on designing, evaluating, and governing complex delivery frameworks, with a strong emphasis on objective decision-making, process standardization, and measurable real-world impact.

I actively contribute to the global innovation ecosystem as a hackathon judge, evaluator, and mentor, assessing AI, data, and emerging-technology solutions using structured criteria such as feasibility, scalability, governance maturity, and deployment readiness. I have evaluated projects across multiple international hackathons, helping teams strengthen solution quality, compliance, and execution capability.

Alongside governance and evaluation, I also design and build AI-powered systems across domains such as IT Service Management (ITSM), multilingual AI assistants, digital tourism, and sustainability platforms. My technical foundation in Generative AI, full-stack development, and cloud-native deployment enables me to assess not just business value, but also architectural soundness and production viability.

Open to relocation and U.S.-based leadership, governance, and AI innovation roles.
