About

At the crossroads of technology, strategy, and mindful leadership.

I'm Karthik — a solution architect and technology leader based in Hyderabad, currently with Accenture Baltics in Vilnius, leading architecture and delivery for a global insurance leader's warranty platform on Microsoft Azure.

Over 15 years I've led high-impact programs in cloud modernization, AI & GenAI, microservices, and enterprise system redesign — for Fortune-500 and global enterprises across payments, media, publishing, education, healthcare, retail, and telecom. My work sits at the intersection of deep technical architecture and the strategic, people-centered leadership needed to actually ship it.

I hold an MBA from the Indian School of Business and multiple cloud & engineering certifications. What I enjoy most: making ambiguous, messy transformations feel calm, considered, and well-governed.
