I’m an experienced technology leader with nearly two decades of expertise in creating large-scale enterprise solutions across Retail, QSR, HealthTech, FinTech, and IT consulting. I’m currently working as an Enterprise Architect Lead for Starbucks Technology.
My expertise lies in evaluating enterprise technologies, leading Tech-modernization initiatives, and driving rationalization efforts. I focus on Enterprise Data, cloud and serverless architectures, designing systems that streamline operations and support business growth across global markets.
Many know me by my nickname, Ashu. I was born and raised in Punjab, India, where I also completed my studies. While in India, I moved gradually south—first to Pune, then to Bangalore—before hopping across the pond to the US. I currently reside in Connecticut, having also lived in New York and Florida, enjoying different experiences and lifestyles along the way.
I have had the pleasure of working with Ashu on a variety of projects, and he is a fantastic partner. Ashu has become my main source for system architecture design, and he has the talent of problem solving for short-term solutions while maintaining a long-term vision. He is highly knowledgeable and collaborative, and we are very fortunate to have him as a key member of the team!
