About Me

I'm a seasoned technology professional with a passion for Adobe Experience Manager (AEM) and artificial intelligence. Over the past 14+ years, I've evolved from a developer to a lead architect, delivering enterprise-level solutions that drive business transformation.

I specialize in the full Adobe Experience Manager (AEM) ecosystem—Sites, Assets, Forms, and Analytics. Skilled in Experience Fragments, Content Fragments, GraphQL APIs, workflows, Adaptive Forms, PDF generation, and custom components, I’ve led end-to-end AEM implementations from architecture to deployment. Along the way, I’ve guided cross-functional teams, built scalable solutions, and mentored developers to deliver high-quality digital experiences.

As an AI enthusiast, I'm constantly exploring emerging technologies and their applications in content management and digital experience platforms. I believe in continuous learning and staying ahead of industry trends.

I’m currently expanding into Generative AI and Large Language Models (LLMs), with hands-on work in fine-tuning, evaluation, MCP server integration, and experimenting with frontier models. Recently, I’ve explored ChatGPT–AEM integration to create smarter, more personalized content experiences..
