About

Support engineer by craft, product builder by choice

For the last 4+ years I've worked on enterprise Customer Data Platforms — the systems that quietly move millions of customer events every day for global brands.

My specialty is turning noisy production incidents into clean answers: writing the SQL, reading the logs, mapping the data flow, and staying on the call until the root cause is undeniable.

Instead of staying inside the support box, I expanded into software engineering and completed an Executive PG Diploma in Software Development with a specialization in Cyber Security.

To apply everything I learned, I built AI Marine — an AI‑powered enterprise support automation platform that combines AI, software engineering, technical support, product thinking, automation and analytics into one intelligent product.

I enjoy solving complex business problems using technology, data, and artificial intelligence.

AI Marine — Enterprise AI Support Automation

The centerpiece of my portfolio — where 4 years of enterprise support met AI, software engineering and product thinking.

Flagship Project

AI Marine

Enterprise AI Support Automation Platform

AI Marine turns years of support experience into an intelligent assistant — investigating tickets, drafting root cause analyses and suggesting fixes for enterprise Customer Data Platforms.

Root Cause

Overview

An enterprise AI copilot that ingests support tickets, customer data and product context to auto‑triage, investigate and draft resolutions.

Problem

Support teams re‑investigate the same class of production issues every week. Knowledge is trapped in tickets, logs and chats.

Solution

LLM‑powered pipelines that read incident context, run pattern matching over historical RCAs and propose the fix — with SQL, references and confidence.

Architecture

React + Django + PostgreSQL + Redis, containerised with Docker, served through Nginx and shipped via GitHub Actions.

Features

Auto triage · Similar ticket search · RCA drafting · SQL suggestions · Slack / Jira sync · Analytics dashboard.

Tech Stack

React, Django, Python, PostgreSQL, Redis, Docker, Nginx, GitHub Actions, REST APIs, OpenAI, Claude, Prompt Engineering.

Journey

Started as a weekend script to summarise long ticket threads → grew into a full‑stack platform used to accelerate incident triage.

Challenges

Grounding LLM answers in real customer data safely, handling PII, and making outputs reproducible enough for engineers to trust.

Future Roadmap

Multi‑tenant workspace, auto‑generated runbooks, anomaly detection over CDP pipelines, and native Jira / Zoho integrations.
