SOLUTION ARCHITECT · ENGINEERING MANAGER · CONSULTANT
I design enterprise systems that scale and lead the teams that build them. Two decades across healthcare, oil & gas, GIS, edtech & fire safety — from Hyderabad to global clients.
I'm a Solution Architect and Engineering Manager based in Hyderabad, with 20+ years spanning the full software lifecycle — from architecture and delivery through team leadership and P&L ownership.
Career highlights include HCL Technologies, United Technologies, Infodat India and WesecureApp. As founder of RUHMA Technologies I now consult directly with US clients on architecture and delivery. I hold a PG Management degree from IMT Ghaziabad, an AI/ML cert from IIIT Hyderabad, and an MCA from IGNOU.
