I was strategically Part of HPC Infrastructure and Ecosystems group responsible for cyber security R&D areas as HPC, 5G, IOT, SDN, AI/ML, Networking in Wi-Fi mesh networks, SDN/NFV, and virtualization for High-Performance Computing. I contribute to strategic planning and explore R&D collaborations through business tie-ups. Ensuring excellence in Quality Assurance and Control, I manage large-scale product releases, covering code, hardware cards, and software features. Internationally engaged, I foster collaboration, co-supervise HPC-AI projects, and submit R&D proposals for India's National Super Computing Mission, focusing on exascale computing tools. My dedication to innovation is evident in leading research initiatives like container-based checkpointing, automated application profiling, and AI integration for exascale systems. Networking globally with HPC experts, I contribute to conferences and tutorials, exploring disaster alert projects using wireless sensor networks and seeking government approval and funding. In knowledge dissemination, I contribute to publications and share expertise through tutorial proposals, with a specific focus on power optimization for HPC.

Guided engineering teams strategically, I fostered innovation, continuous improvement, and technical excellence to achieve organizational objectives. Overseeing defense-related projects, I ensured adherence to timelines, budgets, and quality standards, implementing best practices for optimized project delivery and risk mitigation. Committed to building high-performing engineering teams, I utilized strategic talent acquisition, development, and retention strategies, providing mentorship for professional growth. Implementing rigorous quality assurance processes, I maintained high standards in product development and delivery, utilizing metrics and benchmarks for continuous improvement. Prioritizing innovation, I cultivated it within the engineering team through dedicated research and development, integrating cutting-edge technologies for enhanced products and a competitive edge.

In a leadership role, I directed the comprehensive development, administration, and operations of a business unit, leading a 40-member team responsible for BSS, OSS, RFID-based applications, and Datacom projects. My project management expertise shone through in successfully handling projects totaling USD 50,000 for two Japanese clients, achieving a noteworthy Customer Satisfaction (CSAT) score of 7 out of 10. Implementing a tailored Agile methodology, I maintained an impressive 70% efficiency in time and quality, ensuring 100% budget control. My commitment to performance improvement and talent engagement resulted in streamlining the performance appraisal process and fostering a culture of continuous improvement, yielding a 14% attrition rate. Responsibilities included overseeing BU functions, operations, and client deliveries with a focus on recruitment and retention. I also managed the delivery of OSS, RFID-based applications, and Datacom projects for Japanese clients, utilizing technologies such as Java, SQL, .Net, PHP, SOAP, SOA, Oracle, e-commerce, data mining, and mobile applications.
