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 Solution 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.
