Open to work on product management, solutions architecture, agentic AI or customer engineering. Remote is preferred for time zones spanning Europe to India; onsite/hybrid in Mumbai is also great. Unfortunately cannot relocate.

Open primarily to freelance/consulting roles, but full-time roles will also be considered if we're a good fit.
