Planning systems. Building curious things.Home spans Dallas and Singapore.Always believing in Manchester United.

What I do

I work at the intersection of enterprise planning, systems architecture and technical leadership. Most of my career has been spent turning complicated supply-chain and finance processes into planning systems that people can understand, operate and trust.

Today I lead Anaplan delivery at GenXAI. I work across architecture, platform governance, delivery and team leadership, with a particular interest in what happens after a system goes live: whether it remains secure, scalable and genuinely useful. I’m also an eight-time Master Anaplanner and an Anaplan Solution Architect.

Lately I’ve been tinkering with AI harnesses, MCP servers and small tools, using them to build experiments and remove friction from ordinary work. That curiosity complements my main direction: growing as a technical leader and architect within the Anaplan ecosystem.

How I got here

I was born in Chennai, went to school at Velammal and studied Electrical and Electronics Engineering at PSG College of Technology in Coimbatore. A campus placement with Solvanni introduced me to Anaplan and set the direction for the career that followed.

My career has been shaped as much by geography as technology. An opportunity with Deloitte took me to Manila and later Kuala Lumpur. During the pandemic I joined Vuealta and moved to Singapore, a journey through changing borders and travel rules that became a story of its own. Each new city strengthened my willingness to adapt, meet new people and keep moving forward.

A later opportunity brought me to Dallas, while my wife remained in Singapore to continue her career. We are currently navigating marriage across two countries and very different time zones. The distance is the hardest part of this chapter, but supporting each other’s ambitions matters to both of us. Dallas is where I am based, but Singapore remains part of what home means to me.

Away from planning systems and AI experiments, I build LEGO sets, keep up with major astronomical events and support Manchester United. It is a club powered by hopes, dreams and the undying belief that better days are always ahead. Keep the Red Flag flying high.
