About

Hi, I'm Saket.

I'm a solutions architect with more than 15 years in enterprise IT, and I now work independently as an AI enabler for small and mid-sized businesses. I started as a developer, grew into architecture on Microsoft 365 and Azure, and bring that enterprise experience to companies that want solid, well-designed solutions without the overhead of a large agency.

I build AI into whatever form suits the business: local apps that keep data in-house, Electron desktop apps, standalone tools, and integrations with Microsoft 365, SharePoint, Azure, and other services. I am especially interested in AI governance, and in how Copilot and custom agents can genuinely improve the way people find and use information.

How I work

Architect thinking, hands-on delivery

I cover the whole lifecycle myself: requirements, estimates, architecture, build, automated deployment, and handover. You get one accountable person who understands both the business problem and the code.
