Problem Solver

Hi, I'm Ameya

I bridge the gap between complex technology and business outcomes. I've built everything from safety-critical embedded systems to enterprise and prosumer software. I love working with customers to understand problems and take great joy in seeing them be successful with my solutions.

I turn technical capabilities into customer value.
