20 years of building things
that actually work.
20 years turning complex enterprise challenges into elegant, scalable solutions — from open-source roots to leading AI-powered Microsoft 365 architectures.
A decade building on the LAMP stack — PHP, MySQL, JavaScript, AWS. Designed custom CRMs, ERPs, and web applications for small and mid-sized businesses across freelance and open-source projects. Deep roots in REST APIs, data migration, and full-stack delivery.
Joined Netwoven Solutions to lead enterprise Microsoft 365 & SharePoint architecture. Spearheaded AI-driven knowledge hubs with Azure OpenAI, governed multi-geo M365 tenants, and built the award-winning Govern365 — a GPT-powered governance framework. Leading teams, setting architecture, and driving intelligent automation at scale.
Currently at Netwoven Solutions Pvt. Ltd. in Kolkata — architecting secure SharePoint Online environments, designing SPFx web parts, creating governance frameworks, and leading multi-geo agile teams. MCA from IGNOU (2006), Microsoft AZ-300 certified.
